George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on
“The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw,” has died. He was 83. A press
release from Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville says
Lindsay died early yesterday morning after a brief illness. Funeral
arrangements were still being made. Lindsey was the beanie-wearing
Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1964 to 1968 and its successor,
“Mayberry RFD,” from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character
— a service station attendant — on “Hee Haw” from 1971 until it went
out of production in 1993.
