Farewell Don Knotts

Sadly, Don Knotts has passed away.

Forever known to all as Deputy Barney Fife, he won America's heart as the bumbling second-in-command of the Mayberry Police Department, constantly getting himself into more trouble than it was worth, yet possessing a heart so big his lanky form could hardly contain it. He won 5 Emmy awards for his role as Barney, and has been a staple of the American comedy elite for many decades.

Watching him flash his badge and show off his skills as a man of the law was always a treat. You'd think a mere gust of wind would push him over, yet he fought hard to uphold the law, and was a family man and genuine friend. The Andy Griffith show would not be the classic it is without him.

He was 81.
