Country music stars are offering tributes to Roy Clark who died Thursday at the age of 85.
Roy Clark, Country star and 'Hee Haw' host, dies at 85
“Roy Clark made best use of his incredible talent. He was both a showman and a virtuoso, with a love of music that beamed across air waves and into millions of living rooms, where families gathered to watch and listen.” - Kyle Young, CEO, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
When the Nashville floods wiped out most of my guitars, Roy heard about it & showed up at a show and gave me one of his. This is who this man was. Constantly giving. I owe him so much. Go say hi to my Papaw for me Roy. You left the world a much better place. #royclarkpic.twitter.com/Aus1110BsU

I was saddened to hear the news that Roy Clark has passed away. His guitar and banjo picking was such an inspiration to me. #RIPRoyClarkhttps://t.co/fP0a4vAfvb
