A former Kentucky appeals court judge and one-time gubernatorial candidate died in a house fire Thursday after heroically saving his wife, authorities said.
Former judge Tom Emberton, 90, sprang into action after his home in the city of Edmonton went up in flames around 3:30 a.m.“Then he went back in to save his home and lost his life,” the mayor said.
Emberton ran for governor of Kentucky in 1971 and was appointed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1987. “Tom was just the greatest guy in the world to be around. He was infectious to everybody,” Smith said to WBKO. “He had a way about him that was really special.”Emberton was reelected to the Court of Appeals twice and served as chief judge of the appellate court until he retired in 2004, according to
