Farewell Andy Griffith :(

My Dad is a huge fan of "The Andy Griffith Show", and in turn, has made me a fan. I've seen every episode and will always remember him as the loveable sheriff and great father to Opie. I didn't know much about him outside of his show, and Matlock, but I just want to thank him for the laughs and good memories. RIP Andy.

Yeah I just heard that. I text my dad and Skip. They are both big Andy Griffith Show addicts. Very sad. RIP.

That is sad. I spent my childhood watching Andy Griffith during the day when I would skip school. That and Sanford and Son. He will be missed. R.I.P. Andy.

The streets of Mayberry will never replace him and a fear Hollywood will not either, :(
Rest in Peace Andy, you were a real gentleman. :(

Hollywood has produced VERY FEW like him. Wish there were more.
Simple man from simpler times.
