Gomer Pyle just got hitched
Jim Nabors, the 82-year-old actor beloved for playing everyone's favorite naïve but good-natured Marine in the classic TV series, quietly married his longtime companion.
Per Hawaii News Now, which broke the story, Nabors and 64-year-old Stan Cadwallader made it official on Jan. 15 in a low-key ceremony at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, after gay marriage became legal in Washington State in December.
"I'm 82 and he's in his 60s and so we've been together for 38 years, and I'm not ashamed of people knowing, it's just that it was such a personal thing I didn't tell anybody," The Andy Griffith Show alum and longtime Hawaii resident told the station. "I'm very happy that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And what can I tell you, I'm just very happy."
Nabors said that with gay couples now gaining equal rights under the law, it was important for them to tie the knot to ensure both he and his partner are protected legally should one of them, say, become sick or god forbid pass away.
"It's pretty obvious that we had no rights as a couple, yet when you've been together 38 years, I think something's got to happen there, you've got to solidify something. And at my age, it's probably the best thing to do," noted Nabors, who underwent open-heart surgery last May.
