He was often seen around town here in Nashville, and did a lot of good things for Middle TN and Alabama.

Seems like he had a good life, and gave plenty back in return.

RIP, and tell 'em in heaven that Goober says "hey!"

This is the kind of Hollywood bio that it makes you feel good to read.

RIP George!

Sister's local library has put out a book display featuring 'Mayberry/Andy Griffith' reading materials, including a photo of Mr. Lindsey.

Seems her library has dedicated areas where recently deceased authors/actors/artists have library materials performed/written by/relating to them displayed postmortem (their children's section features Maurice Sendak items). A framed photo of the artist with birth/death dates is next to whatever type of library materials are displayed.

Sometimes she is startled to find a new display one hour after an artist has passed on (Death Watch At The Library ).
