Andy Griffith, R.I.P.

One of the sad things about getting older is watching the things you used to know disappear. I don’t know anyone who didn’t enjoy watching Andy, Barney and Opie and their adventures in Mayberry. It was a funny, uplifting show made by people who genuinely cared for each other. Did you know that Mr. Griffith personally helped develop all the scripts?

Oh, and Andy was a pretty fair dramatic actor too.

No need to recount his many accomplishments, like winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Andy Griffith is one of those rare people that you can’t help but like. And while you may not have agreed with his politics, you have to be glad that he was with us for so long.

Yeah, I know what you’re waiting for…
