Don Knotts has passed on...
Well, another comedic icon has passed from our world - he will be missed...
Certainly, he was well remembered as Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show, but I will never forget him as the hero superfish with glasses in "The Incredible Mr. Limpet".

Bit before my time, so I'm guessing most here don't know who he was. 
I just remember he was in Three's company after Mr Roper...

Things will never be the same in Mayberry.
I grew up watching the original runs of the show. I remember its predecessor: The Danny Thomas Show. I remember watching the episode where Danny Thomas got locked up in Mayberry's jail.
Oh, the memories.......

Saw it on the news a little while ago. He was 81.
I feel anyone 80+ years old lived a full life and has went to a better place.

Well.....I would think ESPECIALLY if they're homeless.
Besides, I'm pretty sure Don wasn't homeless.

I remember being home sick from school, and watching re-runs with him on them.
