Title: Andy Griffith will be missed.
Post by: jcribb16 on July 03, 2012, 10:25:47 am
I was saddened to read of Andy Griffith passing away this morning.  He was 86.  So many of us enjoyed his "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Matlock" series.

I grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show.I must have seen every episode a 100 times by now. Matlock was one of my mothers favorites and we would watch it together almost every day until she passed away last year. I will really miss Andy, he was one of the all time greats.

I'm (waaaay) too young to have grew up watching "The Andy Griffith Show" but I always knew who he was...R.I.P Andy Griffith. (He had the kindest face.)

I was sad to hear the news, too.   I haven't seen it in a long time, but I used to love watching Matlock with my family.

I too grew up watching Andy and the mayberry folks.  I can only wish his family the best and assure them that whatever rewards he gets he has earned them many times over.  May the peace that passes all understanding rest upon those of us who must remain behind while he journeys on.

I was sad when I had heard he has passed away.  I still watch the Andy Griffith show and Matlock and always will.  He was a great actor and he will be sadly missed by everyone that saw his shows.

I remember Andy, too, because I'm a little bit old.  He was an ideal father figure, from my point of view.  RIP Andy!

I will miss him. Even my 8 yr old has seen the Andy Griffith show. No disrespect to him but I actually thought he was older than 86.  But he will be missed and from what people said who worked with him he was a nice man

Like most everyone here, I grew up watching the Andy Griffith show, and absolutely loved watching Matlock. And, if any of you have ever heard him sing...he was awesome!! Rest in peace, Andy...you will be missed! He is now with his Lord & Savior that he loved so much!

I also enjoyed Andy Griffith in his show and on Matlock. I was surprised to hear that news today. I hope the moments leading up to his death weren't too painful.

A little piece of my childhood has died.  I grew up with Andy and remember watching it religiously when it originally ran on CBS.  RIP Andy, you will be missed.  :crybaby2: :crybaby2: :crybaby2:

it really was sad to hear about him passing.  we live a couple of hours from Mt Airy, where it was taped.  have talked about going for awhile now but think we'll hold off.  pretty safe bet that place will get flooded with tourists for the next few months.

Yes, he was a good actor and will be missed by a lot of people.  They just don't make good shows like his anymore. :(

I watched him as a kid, as a teen and as an adult but what I remember most is driving home from the grocery store and hearing "What It Was Was Football" on the radio.  I am not exaggerating, I had to pull over an wait until I could stop laughing because I couldn't see the road.  RIP Andy.

I'm not sure if I've heard of "What It Was Was Football."  What was it about?

Andy will be remembered for years to come... the original "Andy G Show" is a classic... Don Knotts won a lot of Emmys for his role as Barny and we all know far Ron Howard has come.  God bless you Andy!

He actually created the "Mayberry Lifestyle" that so many of us would like to find.  He certainly left a legacy.
