I just heard that on the news tonite. He was great. I got a DVD of old Mopar commercials and he was on a couple of them with trucks and vans. I couldn't believe he was 81!

Nobody will forget Barney 5 in the Andy Griffth show. I grew up watching his movies like "The Reluctant Astronaut" and "the Ghost and Mr Chicken".

Yeah, me too. Saw him in all those movies when I was growing up, too. Remember " The Incredible Mr. Limpet" ? Another icon of acting history gone.

Man this one is a shocker.
From the incredible Mr. Limpit, Barney and the many other folks he brought to life he filled us with laughter.
He always reminded me even when I bumbled it would be OK.
Thanks Barn

A true American icon has left us.
He brought many characters to life for the rest of us to enjoy. I still plan on visiting him in Mayberry sometimes when I need a good laugh. Thanks Barn...........
