    He also shaped my life through his shows and his positive influence on Ron Howard.

    I remember everyday my Dad would come home from work when I was little and watch the Andy Griffith show before dinner. Such a loss, RIP.

    I remember him from an awesome early TV role in No Time For Sergeants right up to his last roles.

    Yeah too bad- I didn't like all of his shows but I thought he was a decent person. I just didn't like how the theme from Mayberry RFD got stuck in my head as a kid (trying to fight off now......)

    I loved him and loved the way he reinvented himself in different roles over time. Ron Howard is the only member of Mayberry RFD still living I think.

    I love Andy Griffith! He just seemed like such a decent and God-loving man! I guess he's up in Heaven with Goober, Barney, and Aunt Bea now. (I know that's not their real names...) I'm sure he will be missed by his "real" family and all those who knew him through his characters on TV. RIP

    I LOVED THAT MAN! FROM MAYBERRY TO HIS ROLE AS A LAWYER IN THAT SERIES HE HAD. I AM GETTING SO OLD THAT I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED. I JUST REMEMBER THAT HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WAS HIS PARTNER AND HE ALWAYS WORE WHITE SUMMER SUITS. HE ALSO HAD AN AFFINITY FOR HOT DOGS AND ATE THEM ALL THE TIME. HE WILL BE MISSED.
