The Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said that Griffith died at about 7 a.m. "Mr. Griffith passed away this morning at his home peacefully and has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoke Island," Doughtie read from a family statement.
With his slow drawl and penchant for playing characters who wore their decency like a badge in shows like "The Andy Griffith Show," the actor came to personify small-town values, with the emphasis on family and community. He was, in many ways, America's sheriff.
He first came to prominence on Broadway in the 1950s in the Army comedy "No Time for Sergeants" and the musical version of "Destry Rides Again."
He reprised his country bumpkin role in "Sergeants" for the 1958 film version, earning rave reviews and propelling the film to the top of that year's box office.

Andy, RIP
The IPAB death panel declined to comment, but did appreciate Andy leaving early.

The very things Griffith’s beloved RaceMarxist and his band of talentless, unaccomplished Ivy League Commies, are relentlessy attacking every day.
I guess old Andy won’t be getting the chance to use ObamaCare.It’s probably best for him that the death panels weren’t needed.
