Godspeed. I enjoyed watching him on The Andy Griffith Show as well.

I remember him at Burt Reynolds' sidekick in "Hooper". R.I.P., Mr. Best.

On the plus side, he got to hang with Catherine Bach, so there's that. On the other, he wound up in Hickory, which is not a particularly interesting place. Trust me, I know.
Rest in peace, sir.

All I remember is him always saying something about being in pursuit of them Duke boys and their "piece of **** orange car".
:-) Rest In Peace, Mr. Best.
