Son of the Juanita and the late Leland “Lee” Emmott, he was born at WCA Hospital in Jamestown, N.Y., on Nov. 3, 1957.

He was a dedicated worker and took pride in his career.

Jim was well known in his community. He was a jack of all trades, a devoted son, loving brother, beloved friend, and a talented singer and guitar player.
