I saw yesterday that he had passed away...I didn't realize he was still alive! 98 is a pretty doggone good run.
My mom watched "Days Of Our Lives" and I would watch it during the Summer months when I didn't have school, all the way through my freshman year of college (I had to give it up starting my sophomore year...couldn't schedule my classes around it). Bill Hayes was such a big part of the show and he seemed like a genuinely nice man in real life. I was saddened to read about his death...he was a fine actor. RIP.
