Not sure what to say?

Mr Sharpe was a good man and will so be missed.

Many times I'd think of Mr. Sharpe after he slowed down his career and we'd didn't see him that much on TV. Once he waved at me at Columbia Mall. I've moved away from Atlanta but will always cherish his memory. I believe he was a wonderful human being. My sympathy and best wishes to his family.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY OF GUY SHARPE. I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH CONNIE AT MARY LIN ELEMENTARY AND DID NOT LIVE FAR FROM THE SHARPE FAMILY, SO WE ALL PLAYED TOGETHER FOR A WHILE AND WE MOVED TO NEWNAN BUT, OVER THE YEARS I WATCHED GUY ON TV AND IN MY OPINION HE WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST WEATHER MAN IN THE WORLD.HE IS THE ICON OF WEATHERMEN FOR ALL OF US SOUTHERN FOLKS AND HE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YEARS TO COME IN ALL OUR HEARTS AS A KIND AND COMPASSIONATE SOUL. GOD ONLY PICKS...

I met Guy when I worked with the Atlanta Humane Society in the '70s. He was always willing to help the animals by telling his viewers to bring them in during extreme heat or cold and he did some charity appearances for the shelter. He was very kind and good hearted to people and animals alike. To those who grew up watching Guy on TV in Atlanta, his passing is the end of an era. We will miss him.

Thinking of your family during the loss of our dear friend. He and Virginia brought us much laughter.

My condolenses to the Sharpe family. I saw Guy many times at the Waffle Houseover the years. He was a kind and gentle soul, and now has his reward.

When I was a teenager, Guy was the Master of Ceremonies for Ms. Georgia Nursing Home at the Biltmore Hotel. My grandmother was one of the contestants and she won that year. I'll never forget the attention Guy paid to her. She was in her early 90's then and really had a crush on Guy! He is an Atlanta icon and will be very much missed.

My condolences to the family, we used see Guy visiting in nursing homes he was so nice and so much fun for the patients. He was loved very much Ival
