Andy Griffith 'Matlock' Dies at Age 86

I feel the grief personally because I was literarily in love with Matlock as a kid. I wanted to be a lawyer and a detective because of this man. I felt like I knew him.
He passed away this morning at 7am and has been laid to rest in his beloved Roanoke Island. Rest in peace Matlock, you were a fond part of my childhood memories.
