What an unpleasant surprise, my sympathy goes out to family and friends. Gopal would occasionally stop by Empire Music on Broad Street back when I worked there around '08-'12 and was always such a kind and genuine gentleman. We'd cover each other's gigs every once in awhile when he couldn't make it to Ike's or when I couldn't make my usual Friday and Saturday nights at the Country Rose Cafe. A great guitarist, a great guy and a genuine loss for the community.

Very sad to lose Gopal, and at such a young age. His dedication and love for music will never be forgotten. He will be dearly missed in our community.
