From Bob Newhart on Twitter:
“Bill Daily and I go back to the late 1950’s in Chicago when we were both trying to get into stand up. Of course, later he joined The Bob Newhart Show. I called him our bullpen guy. Whenever we were having trouble with a script on the show, we’d have Bill make an appearance. You could always go to him. He was one of the most positive people I’ve ever known and we will miss him dearly”
Such nice sentiments from those who knew and loved him...
