I grew up watching Andy. He will be missed sooo much. He was a wonderul man with a kind heart and a sweet spirit. Praying for his family and loved ones.

Most of us watched him on TV growing up, and had a feeling we knew him personally. Over the years whenever I'm flipping channels and happen upon Mayberry I stop and instantly go back to that time in my life ' watching and learning a lesson, with laughter and love. Thank you Andy Griffith, you are a Nation Treasure.

I also watched reruns of the Andy Griffith Show and watched Matlock. He will be missed by all. RIP Andy Griffith!

I loved watching Matlock with my mom. This is a total bummer.
