Actor Andy Griffith, who played folksy Sheriff Andy Taylor in the fictional town of Mayberry, died Tuesday at the age of 86, his family said.

Griffith died at about 7 a.m. at his home on Roanoke Island, according to Dare County, North Carolina, Sheriff J.D. "Doug" Doughtie.

He passed away after an unspecified illness and "has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoake Island," the family said in a statement.

He's been on the tv so much that I think he almost feels like a relative! He was invited into our home often. May he rest in peace........

I remember being called Opie in drivers ed in high school. I got stuck in the huge station wagon for our first solos around the school's parking lot. "Opie" Taylor very quickly got a "ok Opie, easy on the gas! I don't have you on my 'drives tractors at home' list" over the radio from our instructor. When I was real young my Dad tried to teach me to whistle using that song.

RIP Andy!
