Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Wait, Goober's last name was Pyle? Damn, I had to google it but I never realized Goober and Gomer were related.
I actually had the pleasure of meeting George Lindsey in 2005. He was giving a speech at UAB and stayed at my hotel for the duration.
Needless to say, he was the most down to Earth, unassuming man. He didn't seem to want to be recognized, but whenever someone did he always took the time to talk to them. Even got a 'Judy Judy Judy' from him!
I even had to help him get logged into his email, because his home computer was set to auto log him in and he wasn't sure how to do it.
Sad to hear this.
A few days after he checked out, his assistant stopped by with a folder full of headshots he'd autographed for us, saying he was sorry he'd meant to leave them before leaving.

I think the last time I watched the Andy Griffith show was back in the 80's, cartoons then the Andy Griffith show, followed by the Dick Van **** show, and I Love Lucy.
The local station played all this old stuff; Gomer Pyle, Hazel, Bewitched, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Rat Patrol and so on. It was Nick at Nite well before there was a Nick at Nite
