Bill Daily, known for his comedic characters on the classic sitcoms “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Bob Newhart Show,” died Tuesday in Santa Fe, N.M., his family said. He was 91.

Daily died of natural causes, his son, J. Patrick Daily, told the Hollywood Reporter.

The actor starred as Maj. Roger Healey, the comical sidekick to Larry Hagman’s Air Force Capt. Anthony Nelson, in all five years of NBC’s “I Dream of Jeannie,” which starred Barbara Eden in the title role and ran from 1965-1970. Hagman died in 2012 at age 81.

R.I.P Bill. I enjoyed watch Roder in the 1970 during repeats.

BTW, they were both Captains promoted to Majors.

Did he un-invite anybody to his funeral? Not that anybody could be so petty and mean spirted of course.
