Rest In Peace Drake Hogestyn

Rest in Peace Drake Hogestyn. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a fan event in PA. I loved him as Roman aka John Black on Days of Our Lives, and had some letters published about him in Soap Magazines. He was very kind. I remember I was too shy to ask for a hug like the other ladies. As I started to walk away, he called me back and said, "you are not getting away without a hug honey," and he gave me a huge bear hug. I have a photo to remember it.

RIP I hadn't watched that show in many many years, but I remember his character.

There are a lot of very nice tributes to him being posted by his former costars.
