Don Knotts passes away

February 25, 2006 11:01 PM

Don KnottsI just have to pay tribute to the great Don Knotts, who passed away yesterday of pulmonary and respiratory complications.

Don Knotts will be remembered by one generation for playing Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, and goofy landlord Mr. Furley on Three's Company by the next. For those of you too young to have seen that sitcom, which ended in 1984, you may remember him as the TV repairman in the movie Pleasantville, with Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire. Most recently, Don Knotts was the voice of Mayor Turkey Lurkey in Chicken Little.

Don Knotts was 81.
