Jim Nabors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "As he was 'never without a job' for four decades, Nabors has never married: according to him, he was 'really more married to his career'. Consequently, he has been the target of rumors alleging he is gay. In the 1970s, a rumor began circulating that Nabors and then-closeted actor Rock Hudson were to marry. Though supposedly intended as a joke (with the punchline being that Hudson would then be known as 'Rock Pyle'), the rumor was picked up by media and spread across the country. Nabors was 'horrified' by the rumor, as he felt that it hindered his ability to portray himself as something other than a comedic character.
Nabors began vacationing in Hawaii in the 1960s, and in 1976, moved from Bel Air, California to Honolulu, Hawaii. For 25 years, he owned a macadamia nut plantation on Maui before selling it to the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, a conservationist organization (he still retains farming rights to the land and owns a second home on the property)"
