Andy Griffith, 1926-2012

86 years. That's a good, solid run. I always liked him a lot.

[ScottE]

He will be missed.

Sad news.

The people in Mount Airy must be going nuts. That town worships Andy like a college town worships their football team.

Haven't tracked down a video yet, but I know there are Bible studies that are based on Andy Griffith Show episodes.

This recent quote from him about George "Goober" Lindsey was nice:

 "George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago ... I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, `I love you.' That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. `I love you.'"

Goodnight, funny man.

If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor and rent/buy/watch A FACE IN THE CROWD. He's great in it and it is a great movie.

[DerickA]

He was great in WAITRESS.

I loved Andy Griffith for so many reasons. In a way, he was the best of everyone.

I mean, I'm sure he had his faults, but he represented a wonderful way of life.
