He was a very good actor. I loved him in Matlock and enjoyed watching reruns of The Andy Griffith Show. The episodes with him keeping Barney out of trouble with the townspeople would keep me laughing. I also saw him in some movie, forgot the name, where he played a bad guy and he played the part to a T. Had me wanting to jump through my TV screen and kill him. lol
I read about his death on other sites also but have yet to read what he died from which I find strange, but at his age it was probably natural causes. My condolences to his family.
