Despite what you've heard, Andy Griffith lives on
Posted Aug 20, 2015
Aw, shucks; we were just confused, is all. That's the best explanation I know of as to how Andy Griffith "died" twice. Earlier this year, the Internet picked up on "news" of the beloved TV star's death. My adult daughter scolded us (gently) for not telling her. Trouble was, Griffith had passed away three years ago. "It was in all the papers," as we used to say, but she was so stirred by this news flash that we doubted our own memories.
