She said this year has been particularly tough after losing Andy Grifith on July 3. George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on “The Andy Grifith Show,” and Doug Dillard, who was part of the Darlings band on the show, also died this year. She said Dowell’s wife Mary has been running the Snappy Lunch “for a long time now,” and doesn’t think that anything will change at the Snappy Lunch. “People will be really sad. It will always be remembered as an establishment that he (Andy Grifith) mentioned on the show and in his recordings,” said Jones. As far as the Mayberry Days, that begins on Sept. 27, goes everybody will probably want to eat a pork chop sandwich in honor of Dowell, Jones said.
