Actor Ken Berry has died at the age of 85.
His ex-wife, actress Jackie Joseph, announced Berry’s death on Facebook on Saturday, saying “With very deep sorrow, I must inform friends of Ken Berry that he died a short time ago.”
Berry was known for his television roles in “F Troop,” “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Mayberry R.F.D.” and “Mama’s Family.”
His “F Troop” costar Larry Storch also took to Facebook to honor Berry.

Again?
That poor dude has died at least 15 times just right here on FR in the last day or so.
Everyone uses a different site which is why the search never works.
“F troop just wouldn’t be the same without the OLd man, sir”
Captain Parlminter “ What Old Man?”
O’Rourke “Why you, sir”. You’re the old man.”
Here’s to you old man. R.I.P. Old Man !
Since you consistently spam keywords on articles, such as 'searchworks', onemoretime, etc...What's your point?
After sampling a few, now I don't wonder any more. Activist groups would have a field day...
Two seasons, only 65 episodes, not enough to be a mainstay on retro channels. It has been on one of the retro channels within the last few years.
A lot of unPC stuff and innuendo with an underage Melody Patterson.
He was good, mostly the straight man on Mayberry and other shows. RIP.
Some other blathering starry-eyed celebrity obsessed freepers beat you to the banal, Sparkster. He was a terrible actor in shows worse, who cares. And his ex-wife is a certified fruitcake.
I remember her as Seymour's "love interest" Audrey in the original "Little Shop of Horrors". The Roger Corman, shot over a weekend, black and white version, not the overblown musical version with Steve Martin stomping all over the show. It also featured a young Jack Nicholson portraying Wilbur Force, the masochistic dental patient.
“Actress Melody Patterson, who played the feisty cowgirl Wrangler Jane in the comic western sitcom “F Troop” in the mid-1960s, has died at a nursing home in Hollister, Mo. She was 66.” (2015)
He had such a sweet face, great comic timing and man, could that guy dance!
Thanks for the memories, Mr. Berry. RIP. :)
F Troop and McHale’s Navy are two great shows that don’t seem to be shown in rerun much. Too un-PC I guess.
Always loved the blind lookout and the old guy that was the only survivor of the Alamo.
I loved him in Mama’s Family though.
Being a big VW fan, I must mention he starred in “Herbie Rides Again,” the first sequel to “The Love Bug.”
