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