Jim Nabors who played Gomer Pyle first on The Andy Griffith Show and then was spun off on his own show, Gomer Pyle USMC, has died at the age of 87. Shazam! I really hate to hear this. He was always a favorite on those two shows. It was the only real part he ever played regularly on TV. Carol Burnett called him her good luck charm and had him on her first show of every season. Nabors was a great singer who sold millions of albums too. He sung Back Home in Indiana at the Indy 500 for many years. RIP Jim Nabors
