http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2012/07/andy-griffith-dies-at-age-86/1#.T_MLRPXSFiY Friday, who is a close friend of the actor, confirmed the news to WITN News. Emergency medical crews responded to Griffith's home this morning, Dare County Sheriff J.D. Doughtie told WAVY.com. UPDATE: 12:10 p.m. The Virginian-Pilot cites "two close friends" - Eddie Greene and W. Ray White - as confirming Griffith's death. AP says Sheriff Doughtie confirmed the news. Griffith, who was born in Mt. Airy, N.C., was launched to fame as Sheriff Andy Taylor in The Andy Griffith Show for CBS from 1960-1968. On the show, Ron Howard played his son, Opie. He starred on other shows and in films, but found his greatest success again with legal drama Matlock, from 1986 to 1995. He played the title character, Ben Matlock. In 2000, Griffith underwent quadruple heart-bypass surgery and in 2007 had hip surgery after a fall. Griffith and his first wife, Barbara Bray Edwards, married in 1949. They were divorced in 1972 and she got custody of their daughter Dixie and he got custody of son Sam, who died in 1996 after years of alcoholism. His second marriage, to Greek actress Solica Cassuto, lasted eight years, from 1973 to 1981. He and Cindi Knight were married on April 12, 1983, when she was 27 and he was 56. A private man, he told the Virginian-Pilot in 2008 in a lengthy profile by Mal Vincent that he's friendly and outgoing to a point, but has been known to turn down requests for autographs. "When my wife, Cindi, and I go somewhere and we don't want to be recognized. She says, 'Don't talk.' " |

![]() Takes me back to those days of being a kid and spending the summers with the grandparents. They watched Andy Griffith reruns all the time.
It's tough not to grab those fishing poles and start whistling right now. |

![]() Damn, that sucks. I loved The Andy Griffith Show. I was lucky to watch it as a kid with my dad and I still watch it from time to time on TVLand, YouTube etc.
I remember at one of my old jobs that had a suggestion box, I put in a suggestion that everyone has to carry a fishing pole and whistle the Andy Griffith Show theme. Those bastards took away the suggestion box. |

![]() TCM showed "A Face in the Crowd", one of my favorite movies, very early this morning. Anyone with access to TCM should set aside July 18th, as they plan to show Andy Griffith films all day.

![]() I've always been a huge fan of Andy Griffith's work. I have every season of "The Andy Griffith Show", and I listened to his music quite a bit as a kid. Really a great guy, and it sucks to see him go.

![]() I first saw Andy Griffith in the movie "No Time For Sergeants" in a theater in downtown KC.
That movie is hilarious. He will be sorely missed. R.I.P The title of the theme song is: "The Fishin' Hole."
