R.I.P. ANDY
Rest in Peace! Andy……Now you are at home in HEAVENS Mayberry with Barney.
This one took me back. I’ve always felt that as a child I belonged in Mayberry. As I watched them fall one by one, I felt I was losing my childhood. When we lost Don and Andy.. Well.. I guess..I don’t know. Feels strange to me.
If it were 1968 and Simon and Garfunkle were singing “Mrs. Robinson”, they would most certainly sing “Where have you gone Andy Griffith”.
We lost a great one.
RIP…Loved all the shows. Matlock and The Andy Griffth show were my favorites.. Now your with Barney.. RIP..Thanks for the great shows.
RIP ANDY I GREW UP WITH THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW !

I know he was able to reach into people’s hearts, giving of himself to us, what we needed, love, friendship,entertainment, and well being in a world of dis-allusion. I watched Andy all my life and never tired of his humor and wisdom! I will miss your generosity and talent and thanks again for making my life so much richer.
Your admirer,

What a real genius was that man!
He opened doors and facilitated entry to new talents that later became great actor themselves.
He made us see a Clean, Virgin America, with an optimized view to the future.

Rest in Peace, Andy!

I always wished Andy Griffith could have been my father, he always knew exactly how to handle any situation with Opie and his friends or Barney’s fumbles. He was always so kind even when he had to correct someone. He was larger than life to me as a Midwest kid. Rest in peace,Andy you earned it.
