While we were mourning the loss of Burt Reynolds, another one of our beloved characters from our youth passed away. Bill Daily, who played Major Roger Healey on I Dream of Jeannie and Howard Borden on the Bob Newhart Show, died September 4 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His family announced his passing on September 7.
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Daily served in the Korean War before going into entertainment, as a musician playing bass. He appeared in several TV shows, including Bewitched, before being cast as the bumbling, playboy sidekick to Larry Hagman's Major Nelson in I Dream of Jeannie, which also starred Barbara Eden.
