He's one of the greatest men I know, and he will surely be missed on earth. I won't speak of Mr. Mayberry in past-tense, because he is still "Mr. Mayberry" and is still a part of all of us. Although we cannot see him, he's closer than we think. Only his flesh is gone. Now, he's been restored and made whole, once again.
I love you Mr. Mayberry! - From "Hollywood"
(P.S. - And, thank you for giving me the nickname...Hollywood)
