There's a rumor he will be laid to rest here. We'll see. I doubt it, think it would be too big of a tourist attraction. I guess I'll know in a couple of days.
(CNN) -- The body of Andy Griffith, a North Carolina native and actor who for years won over audiences with his folksy appeal, was buried Tuesday morning less than five hours after he died.
He passed away at around 7 a.m. ET at his home on Roanoke Island, authorities reported.
At the request of his family, Griffith's body was lowered into a grave on the island at about 11:30 a.m. ET, according to a funeral spokesperson who declined to be named, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
Sorry for the loss, Tad...
