Good Morning:
I wanted to share this news regarding the best friend that the Grand Ole Opry has ever had, Glen Thompson. Many of you may remember the Grand Ole Opry Fan Club, of which Glen was the founder and president. Over the years I have gotten to know Glen and his love for the Grand Ole Opry, and Roy Acuff, is amazing.
I am sharing what has been posted on Glen's Facebook page, along with information that his wife Louise and family members have provided:
Hi friends, Louise here. Please keep Glen in your prayers. Here's a link to his Caring Bridge site, with lots of info and an update on his health situation. We love you all.
Visit Glen Thompson’s CaringBridge website where you'll find the latest updates and a place to share messages of love, hope & compassion. https://www.caringbridge.org/public/glenthompson
I know there are those who read the blog that have met Glen over the years and have attended many of the Fan Fair events with him, along with the Grand Ole Opry Fan Club gatherings. For me, a trip to Nashville was never completed without stopping and seeing Glen. Since his move to Minneapolis a few years ago, we have phone conversations. Sadly, not as many as we could have had.
I know Louise and all of his children and family members would appreciate everyone keeping Glen in their thoughts and prayers as he prepares for his next journey, of which we hope will be a peaceful one.
Byron, thank you for sharing this information about Glen. We did go to the Caring Bridge page. We met Glen at the Opry and were members of the fan club for several years. We are thinking of him and his family during this sad time. (from Anonymous in PA).
