"They Placed a Wreath upon his door"

Anyone remember when he drove his lawn tractor to the liquor store and got popped?

Yep, it was because his wife hid his truck keys. George was one of my all time favorites. Rest in Peace Possum! As another mentioned, he was about the last of real Country. "Who's gonna fill their shoes?"

Bummer

Oh, no. :( I grew up with his music.

Shoot. Time to go dig out some of my old LPs and have another listen.

Damn...

[Ah Pook]

I heard this on the way in to work.

R.I.P.

I thought he died in the '99 auto accident.

Man this sucks, I loved his music!

[pickenup]

May he R.I.P.

Sucks big time. We've lost some legends in recent months. Bob Munden, Tom Knapp, and George Jones. Sad times. World is definitely going to shit.

[UncleDave]

One of the giants! He will be missed. It is good to see a few young guns that are going back to the roots like Jamie Johnson.

Sad day for all of us George Jones fans, listened to his music all day and got verklempt a couple of times, the Grand Tour, a Picture of Me without You, Tennessee Whiskey....Nobody will fill his shoes.
