I won 2 tickets to see him. I loved GJ but i had a friend 20 years older than i was who absolutely adored him and his music. I gave the tickets to her and she took her grandson who she was raising. She got to meet George that night, shake his hand and tell him how much he meant to her. Like George, she's gone now and I'm so glad she left this earth with that memory.

There has never been nor will there ever be another George Jones. The greatest country singer ever. There are many greats, but George is the greatest. We miss you Possum!!!

I met George and his wife, Nancy at the Austin Rodeo while selling my biography on the life of George Strait. Such a nice guy. I signed a copy for him and we talked music for 10 minutes. RIP Mr. Jones.

George Jones is not only the greatest country music singer, he was and still is a warrior who always loved his fans and family. He lived through hard times, like abuse, served our country, divorce, alcohol abuse, alcohol and drug induced psychosis/schizophrenia "the duck and the old man in his voice", a near fatal accident in 1999 and did what he loved, singing his iconic 1980 smash before he passed away. George Jones will forever live in our hearts.

[RonaldCooper-fnok]

He's the greatest country music singer of all time

There was magic when George and Tammy sang. He had a special spark when he looked at her. Although they had problems he never stopped loving her.

[lhd]

Georges music will certainly last forever as long as there is Country Music!

[karenredhawk]

George Jones was the greatest country singer. His slow ballads would wrap around your heart and squeeze. Miss and love you George all of time….

I had the pleasure of seeing George Jones & Tammy Wynette together in concert in the 90's. They were fantastic.♥

George never lost his voice. His tv duet with Randy Travis in later years is amazing.

My momma loved George and she passed that love on to my sister and I. I remember when i was a little girl coming home in the car and a song came on the radio by him my momma sang the entire song when it was over she looked at me and said now that is one man I’d leave your daddy for, scared me to death. I didn’t sleep for days i thought he was gonna sweep in and take my momma away. Years later i told my momma that and she got so upset that she worried me like that, my parents were married 48 years before my father passed away and now my beautiful momma is gone too, together at last.

When I was planning my daddy’s funeral service I included “It’s Finally Friday” I buried my daddy on a Friday and that just happened to be the Friday his co-workers got paid. That “$100 smoking in his billfold” a pack of Marlboro reds and a six pack and some George Jones on the radio. Miss you so much, daddy!

[jameslomenzo]

me and my friends would see George down on Broadway in the early 80's, he would be on a two week drunk, just going into bars playing his guitar here in Nashville. He acted just like everyday people, so glad he got his life together, it was the gospel singer Vestal Goodman that really helped him.

[Aztec]

I'll never stop loving his music 🎼🇺🇲😊

[jimdellavecchia]

George and Hank Sr are the epitome of country music

[stevediduck]

George Jones is probably one of the greatest Country singers of all times.

[sharonstephens]

I love George Jones. He is one of the best country singers in history.

[tiffinyvann]

Thank you for your service George jones. R.i.p.

[jerrychambers]

If he hadn’t lived the life he lived he wouldn’t have been able to express feelings in his music, I’m sure he had regrets but a lot of those regrets hit us in our feels.
AWESOME ENTERTAINER
