What a wonderful entertainer and comedian. Thankfully his films and apperarances can live on. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP
Mayberry wasn’t the same when Barney left. I own several dvds and still watch every episode I can. I can’t flip past Andy Griffith or Three’s Co. Lets not forget Apple Dumpling gang and how funny he and Tim Conway were… Missed but will never be forgotten…. Sparky in Yakima
