With Jim's Homegoing, the Southern Gospel Industry has lost a Major Spoke in it's Wheel that will never be replaced now or in the future. I am sure Jim, is now the Director of Heaven's Choir!!. Jim, was a one of a kind Lead Singer, MC, Crowd Pleaser as well as a solid Christian. I will cherich my musical memories of Jim and each group that he was associated with through the years. He was one of my Heroes!. I will be in prayer for the Hamill Family now and in the day to come and also pray that the Holy Spirit will embrace each one in his arms of love. For us that remain, we need to "Keep Looking Up and Keep the Faith" and by doing so, we will see Jim again
one day soon...

Jim was one of my top two singers ever. If I were to build a quartet around someone it would be him. He could sing high, soft, smooth, or loud. Whatever the sing called for he could do it! Heaven is sweeter because he is there.

This is a very tragic loss in sgm! I have been a kingsmen fan my whole life, but a jim hamill fan for even longer! My inspiration to sing came from this man, cause i have never seen anyone grace a stage with more dignity than jim hamill! The first thing i wanna do when i get to Heaven is see my Lord, but you better belive the 2nd thing i wanna do is find Jim hamill and sing love lifted me!!!!
