My dear Jim, I watched you for many years on Gomer Pyle USMC and the best episode was when you sang "The Impossible Dream". You have a great baritone voice! Some people told my dad he look like you. I remember you came to the 1978 Alabama Homecoming Parade. You also do a good job singing "O Holy Night". You make me laugh when I was watching your show and I cried when I heard you died. You are now in Heaven with my Dad, Mom, and my brother Glen. May you rest in peace and God bless.

Adding to my previous submission in 2021, I have recorded many of the
reruns to see them over and over. Each time, my sister visits, she asks
to see them, over and over again. May Jim's soul spread in the afterlife,
the joy and mirth he so generously offered in life.

I grew up watching the Andy Griffith show and Gomer Pyle. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of rushing home to watch the TV and, made sure I got my daily dose of humor.
A lot of my earliest recollections of what made me the happiest, was brought to me from Mr. Nabors comedic acting. I thoroughly enjoyed each performance. The world could definitely use some of Mr. Nabors, lighthearted antics in these chaotic and uncertain times. His vocal abilities gave me inspiration and, the drive to try singing myself. I practiced and wanted to sing like him.
He will be missed and thought of fondly, for as long as I am still around. I have shared shows with my kids. I hope his legacy will continue to bring joy for generations to come.
Rest well sir. You certainly made some people smile and, life a little easier.
Thank you Mr. Nabors

Loved his hit song "The Impossible Dream"
I idolized his voice and tried many times to recreate that beautifully, perfect sound, coming from dead inside, from his soul.
May God Bless, and I see you, in Heaven.

Even in my old age, Jim Nabors, as Gomer Pyle, has made me
laugh, lifted my spirit, put a song in my heart, and tears in my
eyes. Nabors was so much more than Gomer Pyle. His legend
belongs to the ages.

I am a Woman Marine 20 year Veteran.
I LOVED the shows Gomer Pyle & Andy Griffith. Jim Nabors was an awesome comedian. We were sorry to hear of his passing in 2017.
I JUST found out from My Army Husband, Charles Skipper, that when he returned from Vietnam, that he was stationed at Ft.Benning, GA, with Jim Nabors cousin, named with the same name, from Montevallo, AL.
He would love to reconnect with Jims cousin, if possible.

A loving HELLO (& ALOHA) to all Jim's fans, friends & family members who are reading this (extremely LOOONG) comment!! :)
I was born in 1975. Been watching Jim Nabors on TV reruns since I was a baby. My dad was a soldier in WWII & loved the shows Jim starred in + owned many of his record albums. He died in 2008 at age 83. I know they're both together now & probably best-buddies in Heaven. I have 2 brothers (born in the mid-'50s) who grew up with these shows (one died in 2005). We all used to watch the Indy 500 on TV every year & Jim's performance was the highlight of the event. My whole family enjoyed Jim's many talents & contributions to this world.
It wasn't just the humor that made Jim's TV character shine....but also those sad, sweet moments that brought tears. My MOST FAVORITE episodes of the Andy Griffith & Gomer Pyle series were always the ones that made me cry. You know, when someone in the show is really hurting & then comforted--or when there's a death that's caringly handled with respect--or when a broken heart is healed--or when a person loses faith in themselves & it's restored. It moves me SO deeply every time I watch & listen to Jim sing with such feeling in the shows--I begin crying (my dad did, too!).
The BEST thing about "Gomer Pyle USMC" is that it teaches love, humility, honor, kindness, forgiveness & patience to the viewers--while disguised as a 'sitcom'; these are the basic life-lessons/skills & values that everyone needs to become better people. That's what I liked about the show. Same thing with Andy Griffith. GREAT stuff. Wish they still made wholesome TV series such as these today. Perhaps more kids would grow into respectful, responsible, REAL ADULTS--like they used to!!
In actuality Jim Nabors was a somewhat shy, WONDERFUL soul with a generous, selfless & loving faith-filled heart--much like his beloved TV persona, Gomer. His television appearances/performances were always genuine, a part of who he really WAS inside--never phony or forced--displaying his TRUE nature. Jim accidentally became 'famous' without trying, because God purposely guided his life in such a way that his gifts of song & goodwill would be shared with MILLIONS; used to help + bring cheer to others in need & make life more enjoyable for everyone he touched.
When I see there's a show coming on with Jim as a guest-star, I always watch it--yup, even if it's "The Love Boat"....he's THAT AWESOME.
THANK-YOU JIM, for spreading God's light to all of us through your exceptional life! You are remembered, LOVED & MISSED. Bet you're having FUN hanging-out with all your TV buds who've passed--Don, Andy, George & Frank + the rest. They were sweet, SPECIAL people, just like you. Give Jesus a high-five for me! (Hope you'll also be MY buddy in Heaven someday.)
To Jim's spouse Stan:
I'm sorry you will have to endure without your precious, cherished LOVE & lover, from now on. At those times when it's most difficult, remember to smile knowing how BLESSED you both were to have found one-another + spent so many fulfilling & affectionate years together. Jim's spirit is watching over & surrounding you with his loving protection + praying for your strength. I know you can feel his presence with you every day--try to stay HAPPY!!! :)

I use to love watching Jim Nabors As Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C TV Series.
As a young man growing in Maroubra Junction Sydney New South Wales Australia.
In the very early seventies when some dies
like Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
That you would Watch growing up like these old TV series such as the Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.TV Series.
It feels like you have lost a relative or a very good friend indeed.
And of cause it makes you feel very sad indeed at this point in time.
As these TV Series as you would watch as a kid growing in the very early seventies.
It would have been very difficult time indeed
Like Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
It was a very funny show indeed.
It is a very sad time indeed.
And of cause it takes back down memory lane to your child hood memories days indeed.
He was one of the funniest guy to ever grace the silver screen of its time indeed.
Especially when it had to competed with the English comedy of its time indeed.
With TV Series like the following.
Benny hill show.
Plus
On the buses show.
&
Some Mothers Do Ave Em.
The Dad's Army Show.
Has the English comedy is the funniest comedy in the world.
In my opinion a lot more funny than the American comedy especially in Todays world of comedy indeed.
On the 30th of November 2017 the world has lost one of the funniest guy to ever grace indeed.
R.I.P. Jim Nabors
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
Now in Gods Care.
Good by.
And travel Well Indeed.

As a long time fan, I enjoyed, and grew up with, not only all of the Gomer Pyle episodes, but The Jim Nabors Hour as well. I was always surprised at how "Gomer" spoke and then his incredible singing voice. My favorite episode is Jim singing The Impossible Dream, accompanied by the President's Marine Band. They don't make them like that anymore. You will be missed.

This past year we have lost so many TALENTED PEOPLE like ACTORS, ACTRESS, SINGER'S, NEWS REPORTER AND COMEDIANS and we have lost another talented actor Jim Nabors. We all mourning the death of Jim Nabors, he will be missed & yet not forgotten, he given us such great Memories of the fine acting he did on television. I remember when i was grow up i used to watch The Andy Griffith Starred as Gomer Pyle every day, I like when he appeared with Andy, Opie & Aunt Bee, then Jim had his own Spin Off Gomer Pyle U.SM.C Gomer, i like that show very much it is so funny with Gomer, Sgt Carter, he made us laugh which they say it is best medince, we could still catch the reruns of The Andy Griffith on TV Land. We all know that he is in a great place now and reunited with Andy, Don Knotts, Aunt Bee and Sgt Carter. My thoughts, prayers are with your Family.
