Not sure what to say?

I met Gary back in 1978 when we both lived in Lime City. I use to listen to him sing. He lived across the street from me.

To the Shope family, it is with great sorrow that I just read about Gary's passing. Hadn't seen him in quite a while. We started the first grade together at good old OLNEY. My Mother and Step-father used to go to Buck Lake and listen to him quite often. Keep the great memories of him in your heart forever. May you all find comfort at this time. ...

Gary and Patrick were wonderful friends in the camping world. Adventures abound. So much energy and compassion for life. He is at peace now, it just so sad to see him go. Sending love for Patrick, in the days to come. Be well Patrick. Love

Gary Shope was a dear friend with my mom and dad Bud and Irene Knighton...They helped promote him back in the 60/70's locally...He even lived with us for a time..We had many adventures with Gary at Buck Lake Ranch we met lots of Nashville stars back stage even over that time...Our fa.ilies were close I hung around with his brothers and sisters as teens..Lots of good times always..He was an amazing singer everyone loved his music...He will be missed by many family and friends and musicians...
