This is information posted on the official Oak Ridge Boys Website. What a great voice and talent. Mr Joe Bonsall was to us and he will be missed. Join me as I'm prayin' for the rest of the group and family. We know where Joe is but we sure know we'll miss him making our lives better.

Thank you Lord Jesus for the blessing of Joe and the Oak Ridge Boys wonderful music that we pray will go on as we will share it all the more. In Jesus Name, Amen.

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. – Joseph S. Bonsall (76) of Hendersonville, Tennessee passed on to Glory on July 9, 2024, from complications of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. He leaves behind his precious wife, Mary Ann, daughters Jennifer and Sabrina, granddaughter Breanne, grandson Luke, two great grandsons, Chance and Grey, and a sister, Nancy. He is preceded in death by his parents Joseph S. Bonsall Sr. and Lillie Bonsall.

As a 50-year member of the American music group The Oak Ridge Boys, Joe was a member of the Grand Ole Opry and inducted into the Philadelphia Music Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame.

Joseph is also the author of 11 books including his latest, a memoir entitled I See Myself, which releases in November. Joe loved to sing. He loved to read. He loved to write. He loved to play banjo. He loved working on the farm. And he loved the Philadelphia Phillies. But Jesus and his family always came first—and we will see him again on the Promised Day.

At the request of Joe, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The ALS Association or to the Vanderbilt Medical Center ALS and Neuroscience Research Center.

Working on this Sunday's get together, July, 21th.

I just love shareing these wonderful songs and stories for our time with Jesus together. Thanks Lord for the rain this mornin'. But we'er still smack dab in summertime with lots of us out and about soakin' in the festivities. I hope you can join me this Sunday begining at 10am and yep, we'll share lot's of The Oak Ridge Boys.

Join in the fun startin' at 10am then repeated at 2pm on Sunday and if you miss it we'll replay it everyday at 10am and again at 2pm.

The rest of the time we'll play good ole Gospel and Classic Country Music along with our story tellers, cowboy poets and most anything else I can find that blesses me. As always, I'll share some great parts of past get together's with SideKick Dave. It was some of the most fun time.

Share Your Story: We all have stories and we are the expert on each of 'em.

Just get in touch with me and we'll see best ways to share it.

Our Jesus Country Show streaming Player has changed a bit and now Live365 who purchased ChristianNetCast recently.

The player looks differently till we can get it updated but you can always hear it but the songs library won't show all the info yet.

Thanks and I am excited that this opportunity offers us even more of the wonderfulness we love to share with you in Full Country Style.
