Too bad, he seemed a real nice chap. Hopefully heaven gained a comedian.
But as for not being able to sing, didn't stop his look alike, Mick Jagger.

"The Pickle Story," where Aunt Bea makes pickles no one can eat, and "Barney and the Choir," Two classics. I sure wish Hollywierd could manage for find decent guys like him.

Don Knotts enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 19, serving during World War II. In addition to serving on the field, he used his time in the Army to hone his entertainment skills, entertaining his fellow soldiers, eventually discarding his ventriloquist dummy and standing on his own as an entertainer. He served the U.S. Army honorably, and was awarded the World War II Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (with 4 bronze service stars), Army Good Conduct Medal, Marksman Badge (with Carbine Bar) and Honorable Service Lapel Pin. Don Knotts was honorably discharged on January 6, 1946.
Well done Sir. Rest In Peace Mr. Knotts.

Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity lost a brother.
In the firm conviction my fraternity demands of me.... Don Knotts was an excellent actor to portray such a person as Barney Fife and be so far in real life removed from Barney's persona.

Met him on a flight one time, when he was flying back from a reunion pic with his Mayberry friends.
Nice guy and magnanimous as all get out. I treasure his autograph (he made it out to my wife).
RIP, Don.

Dang! One of my all-time favourite comedians has passed. Prayers for his friends and family.
So many good TV moments and damned funny movies. I may have to watch the Ghost and Mister Chicken and the Reluctant Astronaut.
