I sure do miss seeing you on Facebook. I still watch the Dukes, we miss you James Best!

 
Our Burdens are Lightened, when we watch you on the Dukes.
 You still make us laugh.
 You had the God Given Ability, to do just that.
They just don't make them like you anymore. 
Your Legacy Lives On.
Thank you for so many Memories.
You Are Missed.
 Until the next chase...RIP James Best...you Are... The Best.


I remember the fun we had at turners camp , and all the things we talked about. you will be missed my friend..

I named my dog Rosco after you ten years ago and call him Rosco P. Coltrane. You were a great actor and asset to the acting field. Bless you

Sir you truly will be missed.
Your legacy will live on through the children of the world that enjoy your shows and your music.

My 6 year old boy my six-year-old daughter and my soon-to-be three year old little boy love the Dukes of Hazzard.
You will truly live on.

Thank you for all the joy you brought into my life when I was just a kid watching the Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights.
God bless you James Best.

james was always a top head-liner and never a caracter actor. his westerns and tv appearances were wonderful and professional as always. i never watched the duke boys because this was just a job for him and movies did him justice. he was the star always. great job james, loved you in shenadoah.

October 2, 2017    We have miss this wonderous Guitar Player; one of the greats!   We get out some of he old tv shows and just sit and listen to his guitar!  He is deffinately missed but both of us!

We both have missed his guitar playing !  We will play the old tv shows just to sit and hear his guitar;

I remember you with laughter. Rest in peace.

wHAT A GREAT ACTOR, I FOLLWED HIM TO MANY ACTION MOVIES, DOING MANY CHARCTERS, DRAMA WEATERS HOME MOVIES.

He's missed. From dashing handsome parts when young, he brought life to all roles his entire life.  One thing I don't see is mention of his being a first cousin to Don and Phil Everly. As a Ky'ian I had always heard his birth mother was Ike Everly's sister. That his birth name was Jules Guy (lots of French names in Kentucky).

James Best was my mother's 1st cousin. Her name was Mary Louise Newton. I never met him but I always loved his acting. I saw him in "Gunsmoke" and other shows and of course "The Dukes of Hazard." I'll miss watching you act cousin. I was always proud of you. Rest in peace. Love ya, Buddy Holder

Thank you James, you were a TV star back when TV was worth watching, and you were a big reason for many nights of laughter and happiness to me and my Mom and Dad. We all miss you.

You will be missed very much, I always loved watching you in the Dukes Of Hazard.

Several years ago I went fishing with James best in the st. Johns River in Orlando I was surprised to realize that he passed away all my prayers are with your family even though it's a year later God bless you

I remember seeing James Best as a young guitar player on the Andy Griffith show and he was soooo good looking. He was a real pro and will be missed.

You brought so much joy to my life. I literally grew up with you in my home. I am proud to say I got to meet you. Rest in peace. The world was a better place with you in it.

I was saddened to hear about Mr. Best's passing.  There are many fond memories as a child of eagerly waiting to watch him play Roscoe on the Dukes.  Few people on film or tv have made me laugh to the extent he did.  Thank you for the medicine of laughter Mr. Best as the world was a little brighter and cheerful with you in it!

I really miss you Jimmy, greetings from Italy, R.I.P.

Great part of my childhood you will not be forgotten

Always loved the way you said, "Roscoe P. Coltrane," with the emphasis on the P.  You are sorely missed by all who love the Dukes of Hazard.  RIP, Mr. Best.

John 11:33 says: "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping and groaning, he groaned within himself and became troubled." Jesus expressed tears when his friend Lazarus died, he knows how it feels to lose a dead loved one and he understands what you and your family are experiencing. May this bring you and your family comfort in this time of need. cjp (fla.)

Sorry for the loss of James Best. I really enjoyed his character on the Dukes of Hazard.   May the wonderful memories of James allow you to reflect on the good times shared with him until God's promises are fulfilled John6:40.

This was a tremendously inspiring and dedicated person who is no doubt a loss to us all.  In fact we can be thankful that we have been enriched and in an equal degree protected by the many astounding and important national and even global defense measures over the years that this person has participated. May the family have peace we cherish the special memories.  God's word says He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore.  May we all rejoice in this good news of everlasting peace. (Isaiah 2: 4)  Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.


 I watched the show faithfully back in the days.
