Some of you kiddies may have to ask your parents or grandparents about him.

Television icon Andy Griffith, best known for his roles in “The Andy Griffith Show” and in later years as the wise cracking lawyer “Matlock” passed away today in North Carolina. He was 86 years old.

Ever the humble man, he once said to USA Today magazine, “I know how to write and I know how to act. I’m just not good at anything else.”

Throwing in the factor of his 39 years of television work (not just related to the two shows he’s best known for), 13 movies and 18 music albums (one even garnering him a Grammy), he may have been understating his worth quite a bit. He will be missed.
