Andy passed away this morning in his him in Manteo NC.... Sail On....

This is particular sad for me because I grew up in "Mayberry" ( the town he was from and based the show on)....fans come from all over the world to find "Mayberry"...... Tourism bring in close to $100 million each year...They have entire festivals dedicated to the show and my family owns "The Bluebird Diner" featured on the show for years.....It will be a sad few days...

Sail on...

Just saw that on fb. I barely remember the Andy Griffith show. Sail on Andy.

So sad Sail on Andy .... sail on ...

Oh.....................almost like losing another Dad.

" G'night, Paw "..

You know....but what a beautiful, graceful legacy he left behind. Everything about him was gentle, but firm. I never heard a bad word about him, I never heard him say a bad word.....boy....entertainment peeps could take a lesson.

(((Shannon)))

Sail on~~Andy. God bless his family and friends and bring comfort.

Sail on Andy

One more piece of my childhood.

While going to school on the bus, we had a radio and the local station used to play

at least once a week.

Sail on, Andy.

I have a 10" 78RPM record of this on *wax* (not vinyl) ....
1/2 on side A and 1/2 on side B.

The record is a thick *breakable* style from the 1950s.

who of my era did not immediately begin humming (or whistling) the theme song when they saw this.

Sail on, Andy.

Lots of memories there.

What it was was Football, Romeo and Juliet, I have them both on 45.

North Carolina is shedding a collective tear for its native son. Sail on, Andy.

Sad ... I remember as a girl being a little jealous of Sheriff Andy's girlfriend ... wasn't she also Opie's teacher??? Can't remember her character's name ... What a coincidence that JB has been referencing Mayberry in the shows this tour ... Thanks for posting the song -- is it me or were people happy with simpler things long ago in Mayberry World?

Sail on to the fashion' hole, Andy ...

Sail on, Sherriff!
Black and white memories for me, too.
I always imagined the rest of the USA being like Mayberry, although the only parts I had ever visited were Detroit and Buffalo.
