quote [ Actor Andy Griffith said in a statement that accompanied the family's Sunday morning announcement of Lindsey's death: "George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago. ]
Sad day for fans
We would talk about our health, how much we missed our friends who passed before us and usually about something funny. I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, 'I love you.' That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. 'I love you.' "

I was going to say something snarky, but the paragraph you posted in extended made me mist up. Nobody really knows how many days they have left, which is why I try to never miss an oppprtunity to let my loved ones know. Something something eating Aunt Bea's pie. |

All these years, I had no idea he was supposed to be Gomer's cousin. I miss classy, silly comedy. |

Andy, Ron Howard, and Jim Nabors are still alive. Andy outlived Aunt Bea, Barney, Otis, Floyd, Goober, and nearly all the others. |

Even though I lived in the South, I never saw the Andy Griffith show. However, as I read the link I saw that he did a voice in the animated Robin Hood movie which is one of my favorite Disney films. Turns out that he was Trigger:  |

Sheriff of Nottingham: Wait a minute. Is the safety on Old Betsy? Trigger: [tapping the side of the crossbow] You bet it is, Sheriff. Sheriff of Nottingham: That's what I'm afraid of. You go first. |

This is probably the first "someone died" post I've seen in a long time without mention of someone who isn't dead yet. I won't say who though, I don't want to ruin it. |

The first rule of the Abe Vigoda club is you don't talk about Abe Vigoda, especially if he's alive or not.... |
