He was a funny character on those shows, which aired when I was very young. :lol:Jim Nabors, the star who played the clumsy deputy sheriff Gomer Pyle on “The Andy Griffith Show” and eventually starred in his own spinoff, has died. He was 87.
Nabors' husband, Stan Cadwallader, told the Associated Press his longtime partner had died peacefully at home in Hawaii by his side.
Cadwallader says Nabors' health had been declining for the past year.
His immune system also was suppressed after he underwent a liver
transplant about 20 years ago
Actually, Neighbors as Gomer Pyle:Whoever wrote that article was confused. Neighbors was a mechanic in Mayberry. Don Knotts was the deputy.

Gosh The Andy Griffith show was something I looked forward to every week. My kids grew up watching the re-runs. All the characters were special. How many seasons did it take for Sheriff Taylor to finally ask Helen to marry him? I know it took forever. The show was wholesome enforcing the importance of good family values and love thy neighbor.
In the character of Gomer Pyle, Jim Neighbors had an expression he often used. "Shazam!"
RIP Mr. Neighbors
Also, it is spelled "Nabors" and I have absolutely NO idea why my mind didn't correct that.Actually, Neighbors as Gomer Pyle:
A) Worked as a filling station attendant (Wally was the mechanic, though the situation did get a little muddier in later episodes)
B) Did serve as a deputy in several episodes, whenever Andy and Barney needed more manpower.
However, to your larger point, it does appear as if the writer confused Neighbors with Don Knotts.
