It’s always odd to watch the opening ceremonies for the Indy 500 now and hear someone else singing Back Home Again in Indiana rather than him. RIP.

Private first class.

Actor first class.

Humanitarian first class.**

May you rest in peace, Jim Nabors!



**He performed numerous charitable works, not just for social rights issues, but also for the US military (USO performances).

He was from my dad's hometown. Like most of my father's generation there, my dad knew him. Never heard the first bad thing about him. Sad to see he's gone, but not surprised at age 87...

His voice, when you hear him sing for the first time and all you have ever heard was his Private First Class voice. WOW!

RIP.....

Jim Nabors was a classy entertainer from a different generation. Its too bad that he was forced to wait so long to be able to legally marry the individual that he loved and care about.
