Andy Griffith, the beloved actor from popular TV series The Andy Griffith Show and Matlock, died Tuesday morning in North Carolina at age 86.

A statement from his family reveals Griffith passed away peacefully at his Roanoke Island home with wife Cindi near him, according to WITN:

Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be called Home to his Lord. He is the love of my life, my constant companion, my partner, and my best friend. I cannot imagine life without Andy, but I take comfort and strength in God’s Grace and in the knowledge that Andy is at peace and with God.

What do you think was the funniest episode of The Andy Griffith Show?

I think it was the one where Opie and his friends got roped into selling some "salve" and Barney got Gomer to come with him to see the people who ran the salve company and pretended to be a veterenarian and said their salve would cure "The Mange". Remember that one?
