In Memoriam: Benjamin Hendrickson

I began watching ATWT when I was a teenager, about 15 or so years ago. I feel like I grew up with "Hal Munson" and his cast memebers and spent the summer glued to the tv. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. As a fellow LIer (near Patchogue), I consider us a "NY family". My best to all of you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear about Benjamin Hendrickson's passing. He was a very sincere actor. He was very convincing in his role as Hal Munson on As The World Turns. I can't imagine the grief his family and his As The World's Turns family must be feeling now. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all.

Sincerely,
Melissa Butner

I was shocked to see the "in memory of" picture of "Hal" today after As the World Turns and then to find out he committed suicide. What a great actor he was. I was touched by his scenes with "Barbara" and "Jennifer" recently when Jennifer was dying. He will be missed in the role of Hal.

I have been watching As the World Turns for many years and was very surprised to find out about Benjamin (Hal) passing away last weekend. He was an awesome actor and it will be difficult for ATWT to replace a great actor. My sympathies go out to his co-workers and his family. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Benjamin,

You will be missed very much. We love you and care about you more than you knew. Your compassion & caring for others shone through in your eyes & it will be greatly missed. How we wish we could have helped. We hope that you have found the peace that you search for. May God bless you and help you find your way. Goodbye.

ATWT,

Watching your show throughout the years, you all have become part of our family and we will pray for Benjamin & for all his family & friends during this time of great sadness. "Hal" will be missed terribly, we always awaited his return when he was gone & cheered when he returned. I don't know where your storyline will be going, but I hope you don't replace him because that is simply not possible. We are so very sorry for your tremendous loss & send a HUGE HUG to all at ATWT.

What sad news. No one played Hal like Benjamin Hendrickson did. He was such a believable actor. He will be greatly missed and no one will ever come close to filling his shoes. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the cast of ATWT

I was so upset when I heard that Benjamin Hendrickson had passed away. He was one of my favorite actors and will be sorely missed. ATWT will not be the same without our beloved "Hal".

I was deeply saddened by the death of Benjamin Hendrickson. I will miss Detective Munson (Hal) terribly. He was the only one who understood Emily and this will leave a very large hole in the story. I feel that his character can never be replaced.
