HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -

Jim Nabors, the Hawaii resident well known for his starring
role in the 1960s television sitcom "Gomer Pyle, USMC," married his
longtime male partner early this month, he told Hawaii News Now Tuesday.

Nabors, 82, said he married his companion of 38 years, Stan Cadwallader, who's 64, in Seattle on Jan. 15.

Nabors declined an on-camera interview but spoke to Hawaii News Now by phone.

"I'm 82 and he's in his 60s and so we've been together for 38 years
and I'm not ashamed of people knowing, it's just that it was such a
personal thing, I didn't tell anybody," Nabors said. "I'm very happy
that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what
can I tell you, I'm just very happy."

Let's see. They've been together for 38 years. Jim is 82, Stan is 64.

82 - 38 = 44

64 - 38 = 26
