Little Jimmy Dickens' Funeral Held At Grand Ole Opry

[@loraschultz772]

My husband and Jimmy Dickens were good friends for many years and Jimmy worked many of our shows. My little boy was 3yrs old and Jimmy!would take him on stage, kneel down so he could sit him on his knee while he sang Raggedy Ann. My son is now 42 and he has never forgotten"Uncle Jimmy" doing that, he was a sweet dear man . Many memories to cherish. Widow of Ken Allen

Hi Lora how are you doing ?

[@mariannechoplin1844]

Rest easy Little Jimmy, I was friends with you back in Pennsauken,N.J. when you would come to visit. I was only a young kid,but I remember you and your Winnebago and your fun and awesome music 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶 that ALWAYS brought me happiness!!!

Hi Marianne how are you doing today ??

[@scotpainter5802]

took my parents to the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago and as Little Jimmy Dickens performed my Dad leaned over and told me that he first heard Little Jimmy at his high school gym as a teenager. That would've been around 1955 or so. So glad my Dad got to hear him again after he became a legend of country music.

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man! The Opry won't be the same without him! Rest in peace Jimmy!

Little Jimmy was one of the greatest country singers ever to go on stage. He was tops. He sang the good old country music that most people loved. He has moved from the Grand Old to the land above to be with the other stars like Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb. He will never be forgotten.

[@kirkrichardson4095]

Another original icon of country music gone. Sad day for down to earth real country music listeners. He will be truly missed. A great ambassador for country music. Rest in piece jimmy. Gonna really miss ya.

[@rustynail3159]

can't believe how many of these great traditional country music singers have left us lately.

[@lynnhayse8890]

I went to one of his shows once. I remember thinking...I won't enjoy this show. But...He was so engaging...that I absolutely fell in love with him. Such a wonderful human being. R. I. P.!!! My friend!!!!

Hey Lynn how are you doing today

[@andydominguez3043]

I'm 34 and his music put me at ease he the best singer that turned my life around

[@redrusty5962]

i am so greatful we got to see Jimmy in concert at the Opry .. He was so funny and so talented . He had seen so many come and go through his time .. a true historian of the Opry . Im so greatful that in a time we live today , when older performers are stood aside , the opry chose to have Jimmy and so many others to show us what true country truly is ! God Bless a Legend !

[@chrisbaround9094]

Little Jimmy was an awesome man and an amazing entertainer he was always funny . We will never forget him !

I live in Kiruna ( a small town in the north of Sweden), in October 27th, 2008 I had the great privilege of visiting Little Jimmy Dickens and his beautiful wife Mona in their nice home in Nashville. Later that memorable day, I saw the great legend Little Jimmy Dickens perform at the Grand Ole Opry (this special evening together with Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, Keith Urban and some more great country music artists)! As a precious memory from this unforgettable day, I have fortunately in my possession some great photos! I have honored the memory of Little Jimmy Dickens by writing a few lines about him and posted a picture from my visit 2008 on my Facebook page.

[@terricklee6268]

Some of my fondest memories being a security officer at the Grand Ole Opry and Mr. Jimmy standing in the alley smoking cigarettes telling me dirty jokes. This was when the Opry starting going downtown to the Ryman in the winter time. Love that man very much.

[@tinaklein12345]

This is my third cousin. I will alway miss his stories about him and my grandma Hughes getting in trouble. Love ya, Jim

[@chrisbaround9094]

Another Legend has left us, but not forgotten

+Kelly Norman why is it I have a feeling you are the same person who gets triggered over 911 jokes...

[@E621_Rule34]

+Kelly Norman but I mean...he was more successful then you so...

[@DIANNEELEE]

I was born just 16 years after Jimmy, so I heard him on Grand Ole Opry, Before TV, and then on TV. Those days were great...But never to return because of who controls the airways now...

[@sethcarlow8363]

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

he was one of the most unique Opry stars--sorry he is gone

[@joshuabrooks4907]

My funniest memory that involved Little Jimmy Dickens, at 4'11", came when I, at 6'5", sang May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose at karaoke one night, and a friend of mine told me "you know, you're about two feet too tall to be singing that song?" I also remember watching a video of jimmy asking trace Adkins if he'd like to be inducted into the grand ole opry. The step ladder gag was funny. RIP Jim, we'll take it from here, little buddy.

[@ellieseiler1700]

got to see him at the opry two year ago he was my favorite

[@catdaddy3302]

He was the real thing. He earned his place on The Grand Old Opry. Notice, ( unlike ) the statue of Darius Rucker outside by the Hearse.

[@jpthibeau4755]

When brad paisley said " we'll take it from here little buddy ". I'm sorry to say but most of you guys took it nowhere. Country music will never ever be the same again
