His eyesight got progressively worse, eventually rendering him fully blind.
In , he in turn handed the firm over to his brother Jim, who seemed a better fit for the position due to his prior experience in the soap industry. On March 7, , Emanuel Bronner passed away at the age of eighty-nine. Around the same time Jim was diagnosed with cancer. Looking for a successor, Jim turned to his son David, a biologist who had graduated from Harvard University in and was working as a mental health counselor in the Boston area at the time. He had previously shown an interest in the soap business when he supported his father in his soap industry consulting activities during summer holidays.
David joined the family firm and learned the business from his father who eventually passed away in June of Jim left the business to his wife Trudy and to David.

His unique label, overflowing with religious, ethical, and personal hygiene statements, became iconic over the years and added to the high recognition value of the soap bottle.
Emanuel Bronner left Germany during adolescence but was influenced by his home country in many respects throughout his life. He learned the soap-making business in his German-Jewish family, who had been soap makers for at least two generations.

He thus helped create and design a new product category which slowly grew into one of great potential and in which his family continues to excel.
