Folks, the above will take you to a wonderful story written by the
co-author (along with Jim Clark) of The Andy Griffith Show Book and
many other Mayberry related books. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I am heart broken on hearing of Don Knots Barney passing. It is as if I
have lost a member of my family. He sure has touched my life through his role

Many beautiful tributes have filled the Digest honoring our man Barney and this
is exactly as it should be--for our beloved Don Knotts played Barney perfectly
and
to a tee.
In a lesser actor's hands, Barney could have come off as an annoying fool,
someone that no one could understand why Andy

Andy was on the Today talking about his best friend Don Knotts.
He was telling about how Don was at the end. Matt Lauer acted like he was
wanting Andy to tell something funny about Don.
Andy always called him Jesse his real name.
He was telling Matt how he felt.
I thought it
My grandma always said famous people die in threes, and I believe she was
right. We were still grieving Don's death when we were hit with the news
that Darren McGavin had died, and just hours later, it was announced that
Dennis Weaver had gone to his reward as well.
Dennis Weaver never worked

I, along with my TAGS friends, am very saddened by the loss of of our
lovable Barney Fife. My wife and I will be attending the TAGS festival
in Mt. Airy, NC for the first time this coming September and I'm sure
there will be many fans there who will feel the same. Like many of you,
I grew up
Don Knotts is missed by everyone who held out for a little more kindness,
heart, and
respect in the human condition.
The timing of Don's death seems a bit odd. I (and may TAGS fans) probably
thought
poetically that Andy would be the first to leave us and Barney would not be
far
I am sorry my reply should of said 38 instead of 3. sad day didn't proof

Yeah, I noticed the 3 and figured maybe you were a child prodigy. *g*

Don Knotts might have passed on, but he is in that spiritual Forty Acres Lot
in the heavens. It's ironic that the most recent TAGS DVD release was Season
5, Don's last with the company. The next release, Season 6 due in May, will
be all the more bittersweet as they are the episodes without
