On the recordJune 25, 1996
I was a real admirer of Bill Emerson, and there was an old former gospel singer I just happened to draw upon memory from, a gospel song writer from Missouri, Albert E. Bromley, who is one of the greatest gospel song writers in the world, and I think this just fits Bill Emerson, and the words go something like this: I'll meet you in the morning with a how do you do, and we'll sit down by the river and with rapture our acquaintance renew, and you're going to know me in the morning by the smile that I wear, when I meet you in the morning in the city that is built four square. If anybody is going to make it, Bill Emerson is going to make it. He was one of the finest men that I have met, ever met, in this body, and he, and Bill Natcher, and men of that statute are going to make making it to Heaven worthwhile working for and something to look forward to. And, Bill Emerson, we are going to miss you more than you will ever know.
