(Dedicated to Frank Sutton who died June 28,1974. He starred as Sergeant Carter.)
Back in the sixties you starred in Gomer Pyle.
Jim Nabors quite often got you riled.
Those shows were funny and nifty.
You were far too young when you died at fifty.
You had a temper and you were loud but that's why people loved you.
Millions of people have watched your shows and future generations will enjoy them too.
