He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

with tons of lights and Christmas stuff all over the yard and let people drive around his horseshoe driveway while he and friends played music on the front porch.

I will miss that.

Nobody in the world could sing a tear jerker song like George Jones.

He was far from a favorite of show promoters because of his habit of failing to appear but when he did show up he put on a show you wouldn't forget.

Here's my contribution to the list of favorites:
