Here’s the press release:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) released the following statement on the passing of Andy Griffith:
“Brooke and I were very sad to learn of the passing of Andy Griffith today. Andy was a true North Carolina icon who introduced many people across the country and across the world to our great state for the first time. While his passing is sad, the legacy he leaves through his work on television and in his community will remain timeless, and future generations will be able to enjoy and appreciate his talent for years to come.”
