Yeah, he died two years ago. It was a sad day for those of us not in a coma or living in a cave at the time. They even reminded everyone in February 2013, during the Academy Awards "In Memoriaum" montage.

I am surprised you are having a hard time finding these two-year-old news articles -- simply searching his name on Google turns up a whole bunch. If you are looking in the newspaper for an article, you need to find one that was printed a couple years ago, as it is no longer considered a "hot" news item.

The passing of one of the greatest "down home" actors of all time -- Andy Griffith -- brings to mind that, sadly, many of the actors who lived in the fictional town of Mayberry are no longer with us.

...those should help bring you up to speed.

Not many members of Mayberry left. Only two I can think of are Ron Howard and Jim Nabors, unless you count Ken Berry and the guy who played Berry's son.

Oh my goodness....I hope Don Knotts is still doing okay.

Loved him in No Time For Sergeants though

Eleanor Donaue (Ellie Walker), Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Arlene Golonka (Millie Howard's girlfriend/later Ken Berry's), Charlene Darling and a few of the boys, too.
