JACK GREENE MEMORIAL SERVICE

MARCH 27, 2013 – 11AM

RYMAN AUDITORIUM

A memorial service for Jack Greene, Grand Ole Opry Legend and our dear friend. The service will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11AM at the Ryman Auditorium.

The memorial service will be a “Celebration of Life and Love of Jack Greene.” The Ryman was Jack’s music home for many years and it is fitting that he return home so that all of his friends, fans, and his Grand Ole Opry Family can say goodbye to the Jolly Green Giant. The building will no doubt be filled with those legends who have passed on, and now Jack will join them in keeping the Mother Church of Country Music filled with his music and memories. If you look and listen closely, you will see tears of sorrow from those in attendance to pay tribute to Jack Greene, and you might feel the air filled with Jack’s friends who are waiting for him to join them.

The public is invited and all media who wish to attend please contact the Grand Ole Opry Office.
