Thanks to all who've sent stories and remembrances of our dear Barn. With
so many eloquent words already sent to the digest I can't begin to write
their equal. I shall simply thank God for Don Knotts. Thanks for a gentle
spirit, countless laughter, and a life well lived. My prayers for all who
Though I mainly just read the digest these days, I had to come forth and
add my condolences in Don's passing. As many have said, I knew this day
would come, but still sad, nonetheless.
I am so thankful that Barney Fife will always remain with us...and for
our kids to enjoy, too.
The tears on my
I think one of the reasons Barney appealed to so many of us to such a deep
degree was that there's a little bit of Barney in each of us.
We all shoot ourselves in the foot once in a while, so we're each better off
keeping a single bullet in our pocket.
Who among us does not crave

Andy: hmmm...Kinda gets to you a little bit don't it?
Barney: Well yeah...Ya know, seeing all those people you knew as kids and growin
older.Kinda makes you sad.
Andy: Yeah, I know. Do the tears on your
I too am distraught at our loss but rejoice that our beloved Deputy is in
Heaven and pain-free. I think the greatest tribute is that Andy visited him
shortly before his ascension; such a wonderful friendship is truly
inspirational and warms my heart.

The world was sure a better place and a much funnier place watching
the great Don Knotts perform his magic. We were lucky to have him.
Remembering him fondly,

Andy Griffith said I have lost a good friend, when told about Don's death. I
think all of us who are fans whether we have ever met him in person or not feel
the same way. There was that quality about the modest very talanted man that
lent itself to that feeling as we watched his appearance on
I maybe look at things a bit differently. You see, four of my closest
childhood friends all died before their 51st birthday. Don Knotts
(wasn't his first name Jesse?) made it to 81 and that's great. I hope I
make it that far. Had he died 30 years ago, we wouldn't have gotten to
see him in

saw you. You're a fine son, Barn. . Thank you for blessing my life. I will
meet you at the river Don. Adios, amigo!

To Others that Mourn Him,
I learned the news of Mr. Knotts death at church this morning. I just
weep... I truly feel like I've lost a beloved and cherished uncle...
We'll never forget you, Sweet Barney. You'll live on in our hearts and
minds, and may your gentleness and kind
I, too, am heartbroken at the passing of Don Knotts. What a wonderful man who
spent his lift making others laugh. He will truly be missed! My deepest
sympathy to his family and friends. I know he's in Heaven right now making
everyone laugh!!

I guess TAGS is firmly embedded in my
mind.
I'm not sure it isn't embedded in 98% of our fellow citizens' minds. I
mentioned Don Knotts' death to a few people--not particularly TAGS fans--and
everyone's reaction was dismay.
Martha Humphreys, who along with many others is sad today*
Don Knotts has passed on to a much better place. But Barney Fife will never
die. He will live on in our memories and in the memories of generations to
follow us. Don Knotts created and brilliantly portrayed the most loved and most
unforgetable character in television history.
I am a long-time
My son and myself were shocked and saddened to hear of Don`s passing yesterday.
We watched our own tribute to him all day. Wade was more upset than I ever
imagined a 11 year old could be over a man that most kids his age know nothing
about. That in my mind would make Don smile that his comedy

Hey to all,
I haven't received the digest in about 4 days. I wondered if there was some
technical problem that I haven't received it. Please let me know, I really
enjoy reading the digest every day. Thanks. Debbie

I have read all the tributes and they are all great. I am 3 years old and I
think I have watched the show at least 1 time a day for more days than I
haven't.Many people want to meet President's,Pop's or sports or rock stars. Not
me ever since I was a little guy I wanted to meet Barney Fife.

real farewell. Barney has given us such fond memories over the yearsBut now

Without question the greatest character ever developed for TV was Barney

There are millions of people who are not even born yet, that will eventually
laugh, as we do now, at Barney Fife, everyday. Don Knotts-- the man---has left
us, but his spirit lives forever in our lives for generations to come!!! Thank
God for Don Knotts Ben, in NC.
Personal remembrances of Don Knotts...
Seven years ago, he was starring in a play at one of the Atlantic City
hotels, and I bought tickets to a Saturday matinee. A lifelong fan of his work,
particularly THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW and THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, I figured I had
nothing to lose by sending

this just in.
