i sank in my chair this am when i read the sad news on the internet,,,,knowing it was coming , I think it was just about a month ago GEORGE " GOOBER" LINDSAY PASSED away just after talking to ANDY on the phone,,,telling each other they loved each other,,,i think ANDY is the last of the GREATS from a gone bye era,,,,leaving ron "opie" howard and jim "goomer" neighbors all that is left alive from this great show,,,,
if any one lives near N,WESTERN N.CAROLINA there is a town,,,sorry i cant remember the name at this moment,,,that is the real town ANDY grew up in and was the guide lines of the show,,,,his child hood town,,,where there is still a FLOYDS operating barber shop,,,and ANDYS child hood home to visit,,,
RIP ANDY the last of the greats,,,,,
