George Lindsey, known as Goober Pyle on 'The Andy Griffith Show,' dies

Quote
George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw," has died. He was 83.

A press release from Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made.

Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry RFD," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character -- a service station attendant -- on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.

one by one all the great people I grew up with are leaving us. I find I do morn celebrities who were kind, created great art or loveable characters, and never entered the realm of divisive politics...
Mr Lindsey, you will be missed.

He was a great actor and will be missed. Mayberry will never be the same.
