Me too, Hie! He had an amazingly beautiful baritone voice.
Just a couple of days ago a young store clerk said to me Shazaaam! I asked him if he knew where that expression came from. He didn’t. I explained Gomer Pyle, USMC.
Peace and hugs for all your friends abd family Jim.
I loved that show. I have a couple of the DVDs. For some reason, I thought he already died. It was always funny how Gomer always made SGT Carter look good at the end of each episode. I loved SGT Carter's flat top. I remember an interview Jim did, where he said that most of the young guys in the opening credits died in Vietnam. They were all real Marines. It was filmed at a real Marine base. I liked the episode where they were assigned to train the German Shepherds and Gomer had the meanest one that he turned into a " p.... cat", but when Carter started yelling at Gomer, he started barking at him.
RIP Jim I saw you one day......I was walking down your lil street and you were on your back porch...too far away to say Hi or Aloha. I did talk to Stan when he was walking your 2 German shepherds. Beautiful dogs & super nice guy. You will be missed......especially in Hawaii
in Honolulu and taking the last flight out to Maui every night. Anyone that knew of him like airline personnel always said he was a very nice man. Thanks for the entertainment. R.I.P.

He'll be missed. I grew up watching reruns of "Gomer Pyle, USMC". At least Hollywood hasn't turned it a big screen movie yet!?? I wonder how today's Hollywood would wreck it!??
