Don Knotts Memorial 

Please share your thoughts, well wishes, and memories of Don Knotts with other fans and his family. We will miss him but he we never be forgotten and will live on as Barney Fife for all time.


April 08, 2009 - Msg 4916: I never tire of watching Andy Griffith re-runs. They are just as funny now as they were the first time I saw them as a child. No one can match Don Knotts' humor. RIP, Don!! You were a classic in your own right.

April 24, 2009 - Msg 4917: I grew up watching Andy and Don every night. I'm 32 and I still watch them regularly. My children never knew Barney the dinosaur, but they knew and still love Barney Fife. (My youngest is 6.) Thank you for all the laughs. RIP, Don. We will always love you.

April 30, 2009 - Msg 4918: Let poor Barn rest in peace! He's not reading all of these posts anyway!

May 03, 2009 - Msg 4919: I watch the show at least once a day.Usually more. I never get tired if it.After Barney went off the show it was never the same. RIP Barney

May 06, 2009 - Msg 4920: simply the greatest comic actor ever.
we love you Don.

May 08, 2009 - Msg 4921: We will always love you, Don Knotts!!!

May 12, 2009 - Msg 4922: There are people in our lives that you may have never met but make you feel great when you see them... Mr Don Knotts was one of those. A handful in the movie/tv industry,,, and he was one of them. Now that is truely more valuable than anything else. I wish I could have thanked him in person. He is a part of me always. Thank you.

May 19, 2009 - Msg 4923: I have seen every Don Knotts movie more than once and have the entire set of TAGS. I hope to get to meet his daughter at Mayberry Days 2009
Her father was a Giant, Thank You Barney for the memories

May 23, 2009 - Msg 4924: I love Don Knotts, but I don't understand the point of all you people leaving messages here. He's been dead for three years and I believe he's been memorialized enough. Keep loving TAGS and Barney, but let him be. Please move on and get over it.

May 26, 2009 - Msg 4925: You were the greatest! The best Deputy ever! You gotta get pretty early in the moring to pull it over on ole Barny.

May 26, 2009 - Msg 4926: I am sure Don Knotts has family left that like to read about how much the whole world loved him. so to Msg.4924 we all can move on but we can never forget people like Mr. Knotts and all the people on the show because that was the good old days wish we were living in those times now.

May 28, 2009 - Msg 4927: To messagae 4926, I'm sure that his family knows how much we all loved him. Unfortunately the good old days are over and they will never be here again. And actually those times never really existed. What we see on TAGS was make believe that made us all wish things were so easy. I respect your opinion, even though you're wrong.

May 31, 2009 - Msg 4928: Don Knotts was an excellent actor and his character Barney Fife is still a joy to watch. However, Mr. Knotts is often confused with the character that he portrayed. He was not Barney Fife. In fact Don Knotts was known to be a womanizer in real life and it's rumored that this is why his first marriage ended. I too love to watch the Andy Griffith show as often as possible, but I agree with message 4927. Don Knotts was just a man that none of us really knew and I believe that much of your admiration may be misplaced.

June 03, 2009 - Msg 4929: Don Knotts was a great actor and he will always be remebered!! we will miss him!

June 03, 2009 - Msg 4930: Don Knotts was a great actor !my favorite movie with him in it is "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" it is sooo funny!! I will deeply miss Don Knotts! He was great in the "Andy Griffith Show" and will be deeply missed!!

June 03, 2009 - Msg 4931: I never met Don Knotts but i always felt he was a friend of mine !!! I will miss him!!

June 03, 2009 - Msg 4932: Oh blah, blah, blah!

June 05, 2009 - Msg 4933: has any one evr met andor spent time talking to don knotts or francis bavier, or andy G for that matter. Not entertainers but others. I can find little on Francis. I undertand she didn't like Andy griffith. Ay truth to this?

June 10, 2009 - Msg 4934: To one of the best comic actors ever! The unique chemistry between Andy and Barn on TAGS will never be duplicated, nor will the warmth and brilliance of the Mayberry characters and stories be extinguished.

June 12, 2009 - Msg 4935: I try to watch andy griffith show each day. I wish I had neighbors like the people in Mayberry. Just think how funny it would be be have Barney renting out a room from you, and Andy coming over to visit. Thanks for all the laughs, Barney we miss you

June 16, 2009 - Msg 4936: my husband and I made it back to Mt. Airy a couple of weeks ago and it was a bittersweet trip-- we saw "the old salt-and-pepper" on display at the museum and were both reduced to tears. The chair Don sat in at the courthouse was there too, bronzed and had the signatures of many, many of the cast and crew on the back. We've watched TAGS every day since we returned. There's nothing like this show, the people who were in it or the people who love it. Don Knotts and Barney have certainly left their mark on the world.

June 17, 2009 - Msg 4937: I agree, there is no place like Mayberry.

June 24, 2009 - Msg 4938: I have never grieved so much for a person I have never met.Don Knotts brought joy and life into my home.He will never be forgotten.May I quote Barney Fife one last time "over and out Don."

July 01, 2009 - Msg 4939: The world is not as full without Don Knotts. He was such a great actor.
