MAY YOU REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND . I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YA MRS. CINDY ANN LIGHTFOOT

Loved your show when I was a kid. I still play them old songs. The music In the 60's and 70's was so much greater than it is now. I loved your music and I think you for all your great music. we miss you.

I use to watch your show with my Dad when I was a kid, you were one of his favoite singers it was you and George Jones he loved ya. You are truely missed.

Writing this on behalf of my mother. My Mom loved one man consistently throughout her life. Porter Wagoner is the name all 5 of us children grew up knowing! We took her to Nashville and to the gravesite. It was then that she asked to be left alone for a while. We watched from a distance, his headstone not in place yet, she cleared off grass around his wife's headstone and then sat on the ground. We could see her talking, but unknown what was said. Mom passed May of 2015. Her request for Porter's "Satisfied Mind" played. I have to believe, he was one of the many that greater her into God's Kingdom. God Bless the family of the Man who owned my Mama's heart.

A great music legend.

My condolences to the family!God bless you and may
you now be at peace. I will really miss you.

The best of the best. I always will love your music.

Yes my friend. You,ve left this old world with a Satisfied Mind.
Don

An amazing singer

Dearest Porter, I was blessed to have called you my friend. You called me your buddy.Now, in Heaven, I'm sure you realize how truly important you were to me. Those years I visited your performances, I will always cherish. I found out about your passing too late to make arrangements to "see you away" to our Lord. I know my parents are enjoying your company there. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, your wise words, quick wit & warm friendly manner & the beam of your disarming smile. I listen to your recordings often & reflect. God Bless Debra, Denise, Richard, & your loved ones. I will always love you too, my friend- "D"

RIP Porter Wagoner you will greatly miss.

Porter was one of the greatest true CW singers ever. I have trucked a many mile to his tunes. You will be missed!
Willie j. - Zero

I've danced a million miles to your music. You were one of the greats. Never forget you Porter.

I was very saddened when i heard the news of Porter's passing i have listened and watched his music for the last 30 years He was a great singer and sang songs of his journey through life. I saw him perform at the Ryman back in 2005 when i was lucky enough to have a trip to Nashville.I never got to meet you, however i wished i could have. May you rest in peace Porter, although you are not here, the memory of you and your music will never die,When i have one of your songs playing, and i am singing along with you, i hope you can listen in.
My deepest sympathies to your loved ones and friends. Rest In Peace Porter

Jackie Reynolds

Porter was so cool.

Porter was one of my very best favorites. I don't know about him and Dolly, but they has some beautiful recordings. He was one of the greatest. RIP Porter. God Bless

its 2013 and I still miss you my friend

He will be sadly missed. I no Dolly is besides herself over the lost of her friend. Rest in peace.

I've heard folks say, if they ever were in a foxhole during a war may it be Porter! He seemed very humble w/a interesting laugh, yes we miss him too, the world needs many more Porter Wagoners! May God bless his family and close friends.

I loved his show.Sadie on the phone was great.And especially them Jim Walter Home comcericals.Porter looked alot like my uncle. LOVE SANDRA

i miss him.the first nite i was ever in town i went to printers alley .he,charlie pride,and others gaave me autographs and he invited me to a party.i was so tired i couldn't go,from riding all day from one end of us to there.how dumb is that.i'll never forget.

Recently I watched one of Porter's T.V. show's from 2007. It brought back fond memory's from my childhood. I grew up inrural Canada. Porter was on of my most favourite country singers. We were blessed by his time on earth.I'm sure Heaven rejoiced with the return of one of God's children

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

THE ONLY TIME I WAS ABLE TO AFFORD TO TAKE THE TRIP TO NASHVILLE, WAS IN 1993 AND WAS SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AND SO MANY GREATS ON THE STAGE AT THE RYMAN. YOU ARE MISSED. WESLEY PITTMAN, OKLAHOMA CITY ,OKLA

I was so blessed to get to meet Porter Wagoner, 23 April 2005. A man had told me that the young man from the Opry Square dancers and waived me up I said I didn't believe him but the second time he did it, I was up there with the Opry Squaare dancers and at the end I got to meet Porter Wagoner, he was so kind and I miss him and Dolly Pardon singing together too. Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ

A Country Legend! Memory Eternal!

I have a picture of us together, when we were both a lot younger. I enjoyed your laughter, smile and not least of all your voice. You will always be special to me. When I see you in Heaven, I hope we can sing a song together. M Woods, Dayton Ohio

For Porter...Remembered are
you many moments as a
Grand Ole Opry Star. Your effort
in launching Dolly Parton is
another gift from you that keeps
on giving.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

I grew up watching Porter Wagoner, at my Grandmother's house, on Saturday afternoons. I would tag a long with my Dad to my Grandmother's, so that he could mow her lawn, and she and I would watch Porter Wagoner's Show and the Wilburn Brother's Show. We had a grand time together watching those shows. All of these country music entertainers and legends are sadly missed today. Thank you, Porter Wagoner, for all of your many years of dedicated service to the country music industry.

With Deep Sympathy,

PORTER WAS INDEED A VERY FINE PERSON AND ONE OF THE GREAT SINGERS. I MET THIS FINE GENTLEMAN AT THE GRAND OLE OPRA WITH DON WINTERS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. HE IS NOW SINGING WITH MANY OTHERS FOR THE LORD. REST IN PEACE MY FINE FRIEND- WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.

I am truely sorry to hear about Porter he was a great singer he will be truely missed by his friends and family he is with GOD in a better place

To Porter's family, I was shocked to hear of his death. I loved watching him as a young girl in the 60's. His show was down home type of entertainment and I loved to hear he and Dolly sing their duets. He will be sorely missed. I still watch his old shows on RFD channel. He was a great entertainer. God Bless you all and I know he is singing in heaven.

Loved your music for many years on TV and the radio..............
now you will be singing with the angels.

As a child, I lived in a small town.
We did not have a TV antenna and we only got 1 TV station. Every Saturday afternoon, I watched the Porter Wagoner Show. I had often hoped that in my lifetime I could have met him or just written him a letter to let him know how much I loved his music. When I think of my childhood, one of the things that comes to mind right away is Porter Wagoner.
I hope that someday his TV shows will be available on DVD.
Porter may be gone, but his music and legacy will live on forever. I shall never forget him.

My grandparents raised me and we always watched the Grand Ole Opry and the Porter Wagner show. I loved to hear him and Dolly sing. I will miss him.

FOR THE FAMILY,
I TRULY MUST APOLOGIZE FOR NOT REALIZING PORTER HAD PASSED AWAY UNTIL THE CMA AWARDS TONITE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN I WATCHED THE SPECIAL ABOUT PORTER AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. THE COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD HAS LOST A GREAT MAN AND I FEEL ESPECIALLY SAD FOR DOLLY PARTON, MARTY AND THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS OF THAT SHOW YET I FEEL SO THANKFUL THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THE SHOW WHEN THEY DID.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
RJ & FAMILY, RED DEER, AB, CANADA

You are the best friend we ever had.I will never forget how you would shine in the lights of the stage,You were always the most beautiful sight to see and the most beautiful music to hear.

Thank you Porter for the memories,the friendship,the inspiration,and for the music.We love you always.Doug and Nancy

I have always been a Porter Wagoner fan, he is the main reason that I have been to the Opry five times, the latest was this past saturday night (11/3).I just wanted to be there, to feel the loss and the great love that other fans shared for Porter. I will continue to listen and admire his special way of singing and will miss this great showman. Thanks Porter, you will NEVER be forgotten

Vayo con Dios Porter!!!
