Hmmm, I thought he had died a few years ago. I'm not sure many NICOnauts will know who he was.

He took a minor role on a folksy '60's sitcom and made a career out of it. From Andy Griffith to Mayberry RFD to Hee Haw.

No, he passed Sunday.

Usually I would not post people who the youngsters on here may not be familiar with but I assumed with all the reruns of AG/Mayberry RFD that they would know who he was.

It smells like old men in here :biggrin:

I knew of the show but I couldn't place the actor....the only reason I was familiar is because of my dad.

You young ones have missed out on a lot. You probably think the new movie Dark Shadows is something original.....

Just because something is old/original doesn't always make it better. I recognize that hat, but nothing else.

I've watched the real Dark Shadows. This new age crap is ridiculous.

Sadly you're right, these are also the same kids that think the Titanic was just a movie.

If you grew up around here before the 90s the Andy Griffith show was consider life lessons. Bet I've seen every episode at least a couple times.

My Dad still goes up to the Snappy Lunch for a Pork Chop sandwich occasionally. For those that don't know, Mayberry is based on Mt Airy, NC. They have festivals, statues, etc.
