NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Porter Wagoner, the rhinestone-clad Grand Ole Opry star who helped launch the career of Dolly Parton by hiring her as his duet partner, died Sunday. He was 80.
Wagoner, who had survived an abdominal aneurysm in 2006, was hospitalized again this month and his publicist disclosed he had lung cancer. He died at 8:25 p.m. CDT in a Nashville hospice, a spokeswoman for the Grand Ole Opry said.
Can we all have a moment of silence for his family and be glad that Porter has gone to a greater reward and is no longer suffering. He will definately be missed.RIP Porter
