Actor Jim Nabors of Andy Griffith Show marries male partner; says he just wanted it legal

 
 

By Associated Press, Published: January 30

HONOLULU Actor Jim Nabors says marrying his longtime male partner doesnt change anything about their relationship he just wanted it to be formally acknowledged.

I just wanted it legal, the 82-year-old actor best known as Gomer Pyle in The Andy Griffith Show told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

(Associated Press) - Jim Nabors is seen in character for his role of Gomer Pyle in this 1966 file photo. Hawaii News Now reports Jim Nabors and his partner, Stan Cadwallader, traveled from their Honolulu home to Seattle to be married Jan. 15, 2013. The couple met in 1975 when Cadwallader was a Honolulu firefighter.

(Evan Agostini/Getty Images) - Actors Jim Nabors and Andy Griffith attend \"CBS at 75\" television gala in 2003 in New York.

Nabors married 64-year-old Stan Cadwallader in Seattle on Jan. 15. Nabors says they have been partners for 38 years.

Nabors said they flew from Honolulu just for the short ceremony and were married in a hotel room by a judge friend who drove up from Olympia, Wash.

Nabors said hes not an activist but feels strongly that gay marriage should be a right for everyone.

I think every person on this earth has a choice of who they want to spend their life with, he said.

News of Nabors marriage was first reported by Hawaii News Now. Nabors told Hawaii News Now hes been open about being gay with co-workers and friends but hadnt acknowledged it to the media before. He said hes not ashamed of people knowing, he just didnt tell people because it was such a personal thing.

The couple met in 1975 when Cadwallader was a Honolulu firefighter.

Nabors told the AP that Cadwallader began working for him long ago and took care of his business affairs.

Hes my best friend, Nabors said.

Nabors became an instant success when he joined The Andy Griffith Show in spring 1963. The character of Gomer Pyle the unworldly, lovable gas pumper who would exclaim Gollllll-ly! proved so popular that in 1964 CBS starred him in Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

In the spinoff, which lasted five seasons, Gomer left his hometown of Mayberry to become a Marine recruit. His innocence confounded his sergeant, the irascible Frank Sutton.

Gay marriage became legal in Washington state last month. Several other states allow it, but Nabors said he picked Washington because he didnt want to travel too far from his Hawaii home.

I like the weather, he said. Still, I froze my butt off there.

I've been to thousands of autoraces in my life. Everyone has
an opening "ceremony" where the "National Anthym" of one
or two countries get played. In racing, I respond to moment
more because I've been to races where a driver has died
in an accident. So when I attend a sprintcar race at my local
track and the star-spangled-banner music gets played, I know
what I'm going to see next could be some drivers "last-day"
on Earth. Getting back to the topic of Jim Nabors, I cant tell
you everytime I heard him sing "Back Home In Indiana" during
the Indy 500 opening ceremony but every time I thought
"this guy obviously has "2-sides". Gomer Pyle/opera singer
has made his make his mark in the most unlikely chosen ways.
