James Emigh wrote a sympathy message

“What an incredible hole in this world there will be without Jim, over the past several years Jim and I spent a lot of time on the road together and became so close. He was such a kind man. He was my friend and mentor and I am struggling with the thought of not being able to pick up the phone and call him anymore. Always with a quick joke to lighten things up, never a cross word, he always made people around him feel welcome. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim Emigh”

He was quick to smile, joke, go to a movie, or just talk about a book he recently read. As it seems to go, I wish I could have spent more time with him but I am grateful for the memories that I have. He will be missed. Always in our prayers, Rich and Maddy”
