Mt. Airy (Mayberry's real name.) is in mourning. One of my twins lives there and the other one is going over there right now to visit. It isn't far from us. Our pastor loves Andy and draws lots of pictures of him and the cast of the show. He is very good. I know he is going to miss Andy too.
I was so sad when I heard this. My parents were in his age group. They both passed away in the last five years and when someone from their generation dies, it is a little like losing them again.
He will be missed~! Besides the show, my favorite thing of his was his radio comedy of "What it was, was football".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNZi9UdTs_A
Sad - I loved him so much - he reminded me of my father and I used to watch his shows just to "watch" my dad on TV
