Jim Nabors (12 June 1930 – 30 November 2017) was an American actor, singer, and comedian.
You Are Cordially Invited…
On January 15, 2013, Nabors married his partner of 38 years, Stan Cadwallader, in Seattle, a month after same-sex marriage became legal in Washington. -- adapted from Wikipedia
Take a respite from your labors,
It’s the birthday of Jim Nabors!
Maybe it will make you smile
To think of him as Gomer Pyle,
Or maybe in your young upbringing
Your parents listened to his singing,
But setting show biz things aside,
And since the month of June is Pride,
We’ll celebrate the loving man
Who, after decades with his Stan,
Was happy as a clam when he
Could marry him at eighty-three.
