Country music Roy Clark has passed away at the age of 85 from complications of pneumonia at home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Quote: Clark was "Hee Haw" host or co-host for its entire 24-year run, with Buck Owens his best known co-host. Started in 1969, the show featured the top stars in country music, including Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Charley Pride, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, as well as other musical greats including Ray Charles, Chet Atkins and Boots Randolph.

The country music and comedy show's last episode aired in 1993, though reruns continued for a few years thereafter. "'Hee Haw' won't go away. It brings a smile to too many faces," he said in 2004, when the show was distributed on VHS and DVD for the first time.

"I've known him for 60 years and he was a fine musician and entertainer," Charlie Daniels tweeted on Thursday. "Rest In peace Buddy, you will be remembered."

Roy Clark could play anything with strings and do it better than most. Roy was a virtuoso in a class with other great guitarists like Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell, just to name a few. Sadly, these men are all gone. When you think of great guitarists and musicians, these people and others were the real deal.

Rest in Peace Roy and thanks not only for the great music but showing us how it's done.
