Some quotes from the country star Roy Clark:
"A TV camera goes right through your soul.”
"If you're a bad person, people pick that up. I'm a firm believer in smiles. I used to believe that everything had to be a belly laugh. But I've come to realize that a real sincere smile is mighty powerful."
Clark ended each of his performances with a humorous note of appreciation, "We had to come, but you had a choice. Thanks for being here."
He is survived by extensive family and his wife of 61 years, Barbara.
Roy was a true talent and it seemed, a genuinely nice guy.
I can't even imagine being with someone for 61 years and then losing them.
