I totally missed hearing of Frank Cady's death a month ago. So used to seeing him as kindly Sam Drucker as a kid, so it was a weird moment when I first watched The Bad Seed; his small performance as Mr. Daigle alongside grieving Eileen Heckart is minor, but moving.

In the 60s and 70s, the Andy Griffith Show was one of the few positive portrayals of the South we got to see on TV. A cloying, one-dimensional South, true, but a gentle one, with recognizable similarities to where we lived. RIP.

RIP car designer Sergio Pininfarina
The world of automotive design has lost another great. Sergio Pininfarina – the honorary chairman of the Pininfarina Group that bears his family name – passed away last night at age 85.Sergio took control of Pininfarina as chairman back in 1966 after his father, Gian Battista 'Pinin' Farina, passed away. He would hold this role until transitioning to honorary chairman in 2006.Over his tenure, his Pininfarina firm worked on design projects for everyone from Alfa Romeo to Chevrolet to Bentley and Volvo, but he is perhaps most known for his work for Ferrari and Maserati. No stranger to edgy aesthetics, Pininfarina presided over designs like the 2002 Ferrari Enzo and the 1984 Ferrari Testarossa before it. Conversely, he was also responsible for some beautifully simple forms, including the lauded 1996 Peugeot 406 Coupe and 2003 Maserati Quattroporte.

My grandfather wanted a specific Andy Griffith gospel song played at his funeral, and all we could find was a medley of AG songs that contained the requested song therein, so at his funeral, we all sat and listened to a ten-minute medley of Andy Griffith's greatest gospel hits, which was not unlike living in morbid, surreal sketch comedy skit.
Anyway, RIP, dude. Your TV show used to bore me to tears as a kid, but my grandfather liked you a lot.
