Farewell Andy Griffith

By

Here it is another entertainment loss.  Today, Andy Griffith died at age 86.  For those of us baby boomers, we first got to know him as Andy Taylor, the loveable sherriff of Mayberry during the 1960's television series, "The Andy Griffith Show".  His character was always the voice of common sense and reason.  I am sure there were many lessons we learned by watching this program.

The next generation got to know him as the cantankerous attorney, "Matlock".   Future generations will be able to enjoy these performances thanks to the many channels that broadcast reruns of these programs every day.

 

I found this great article about his career and thought I would share it with you, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/04/arts/television/andy-griffith-actor-dies-at-86.html?pagewanted=all

I remember watching him as a child and what honesty and charisma he held. He sure did make a great impact in this world and will be missed Kathy!

Kathy, me too when I can't sleep!  It's either Andy Griffith, or I Love Lucy.

He wasn't one of my favorite actors but he definitely is one who has a boday of work almost equal to none. If you ask me to be truthful, I did watch Mayberry as a kid. cheers cvc

Kathy, I am old enough to remember watching all of his shows.  He, Barney, and Ant Bee provided a lot of laughs for me in my younger years.

Kathy, I always liked Andy Griffith as well.  I remember as a kid watching the Andy Griffith Show, and then Matlock, and movies he was in.  I liked them all.

What a stand-up guy!  And, he knew better than to run for office even though many wanted him to.  He will be missed.  I had forgotten that he could sing, too.  Thanks, Michael.

I loved Mayberry RFD and never missed it. I loved every character in that show which is rare.
