Jim Nabors, who starred as Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show and on his own sitcom before retiring the wide-eyed, countrified character at the height of his popularity, has died. He was 87.

Nabors died at his home in Hawaii on Thursday morning, his longtime partner told the Associated Press.

Always will remember him for this, among other things.

On the bright side he'll be reunited with Sgt. Carter.

RIP, Mr. Nabors.

Gaw-a-awwlleeeee :(

Always loved Gomer Pyle on both Andy Griffith and his own show.

He can see Andy, Barney, and Goober again, too.

I imagine him saying "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" when he met up with Sgt. Carter.

That's a damn shame. RIP

A damn shame. Growing up, summer didn't start for me until he had finished singing "Back Home Again" and they fired the field up.

He was born in Alabama, lived in Hawaii/California, but he'll be a Hoosier legend for the years to come. RIP Mr. Nabors.

I met Mr. Nabors about 25 years ago. He visited the gym where I was a member while in town for a show at the locally famous Carousel dinner theater. Seemed like a nice guy. He signed an autograph for my mother and gave me a pass to get front row seats for the show which I gave to my parents as it was near their anniversary.
