Late Actor Jim Nabors Husband Stan Cadwallader-What Is He Up To These Days?

Stan Cadwallader is famously known as the husband of Jim Nabors. Jim was an actor, singer, and comedian, famous for his portrayal of Gomer Pyle in Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. Besides, Jim is also famous for his work in The Andy Griffith Show, The Jim Nabors Hour, and Return to Mayberry among others.

Unfortunately, Jim passed away in 2017 at the age of 87. At the time of his death, the late actor was still married to Stan. Even though it’s been a couple of years since Jim’s passing, his fans are still curious to know his partner Stan. So, what’s Stan up to these days? Has he found a new partner?

Here’s everything you may want to know about Stan Cadwallader.

Stan Cadwallader Used to Work as a Firefighter before He Became Famous

Stan rose to prominence after he started his relationship with the late actor Jim. However, before he met his future husband, Stan worked as a firefighter in the Honolulu fire department.

Interestingly, Stan was living in a boat when he had his first encounter with Nabors in Honolulu. Things really started making sense when Jim Nabors also fell in love with the small pacific island and relocated there permanently.

Stan Cadwallader and Jim Nabors First Meet-How Did Their Love Blossom?

Stan and Jim’s first meeting was way back in the ’70s. Coincidentally, the pair first met on the late actor’s 45th birthday in July 1975. On the day, Stan went to the Ala Moana shopping center where Jim happened to be present already. And when Stan saw Jim, who had already become a star, he approached him for a chat.

They hit it off at their first meet and went on to dine together the very night. Moreover, as they went on talking they found out that they had a lot in common which led them to start their affair pretty soon. We can apparently say that Stan and Jim never stayed away from each other ever since their first meeting.

They married three decades after starting dating

Stan and Jim started dating in the 1970s and it was only in the year 2013 that they finally thought of getting married. Their big day came after around 38 years since they first started going out.

The pair exchanged their wedding vows at a beautiful wedding held at Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington. Only a couple of their friends joined them at their private wedding.

Now talking about why they took so long before tying the knot, one factor that might have kept them from marrying was the US law against gay marriage. Apparently, they married around a month after Washington lifted the ban on gay marriage or we can say legalize gay marriage.

The news of their wedding hit a couple of days after their nuptials.

Did the couple share any kids?

Unfortunately, no, the couple didn’t have any kids between them. As a gay couple, their only option to bear any kids was either through surrogacy or adoption which the pair didn’t opt for.

We can say they didn’t have the intention to become parents.

Stan’s Husband Died at 87 in 2017

Just about four years after Stan and Jim officially became married, Jim tragically passed away at their home in Honolulu, Hawaii. As per records, Jimo died on November 30, 2017, when he was 87. Nabors died after around a year since his health condition started declining, various tabloids reported.

Meanwhile, the US Marine Corps also released a statement mourning Jim’s death. The statement read:

“Semper Fi, Gomer Pyle. Rest in peace Jim Nabors, one of the few to ever be named an Honorary Marine.”

Meanwhile, the then-Second Lady of the US, Karen Pence also expressed her grief on Twitter saying “So sad to hear about the passing of Jim Nabors. We heard him sing ‘Back Home Again in Indiana’ at the Indianapolis 500 countless times. We will miss his beautiful voice.”

Where is He Currently? What is Cadwallader Up To?

Apparently, Stan has been living a low-profile life ever since his husband’s death in 2017. He has not made any public appearances as often, so it’s really difficult to predict what he is up to these days.

He and his late spouse had been living in O’ahu, Hawaii before Jim’s passing. However, since the property was sold for a whopping $12 million in 2018, it’s unclear where Stan resides these days. Besides, Jim’s estate in Maui was also listed for sale for $5 million in 2019.

As of now, it appears Stan prefers living a quiet life away from the media buzz. We hope he is super healthy and doing great with his life.
