I have watched ATWT with both my Grandmother and Mother, they were to two that got me hooked was I was in grade school.  And I have to admit that I was in LOVE with Hal as soon as I saw him. I wanted to be married to him, and I never understood why his wives would divorce him. He always treated them with respect and they never had to work, that was the best part. I missed him hard when he took a time off If I'm not mistaken because of an illness and they had a replacement for him. I didn't like the replacement so I hope they don't try to do that again, because there is only one Hal Munson.  My prayers go out to his family and friends, I will never forget him as HAL.

  I am so saddened to hear of the death of this wonderful man. I have watched As the World Turns for many years and have loved the Hal Munson character. Hal was loved by many people and will be sadly missed. His character went through so many changes through the years and the show will not be the same without this man.

My sympathies go out to his family and friends at this sad time.

I am so sorry for the lose of a great actor (Hal) Benjamin Hendrickson, you played the part so well. There will not be another Hal, to play your part. This is a very sad time for this show. But I will continue to watch. Bless you all.

A devoted fan,

I am so sad to see Benjamin (Hal) pass away.  I can only imagine what his family is going through, but his daytime family as well.  There's Jennifer, Barbara, Will, Paul, Emily, Parker, Daniel, Margo, and of course, if they decide to write it in that he died, his other daughter, (I can't remember her name, right off the bat).  Hal was a good actor and I will miss him.  July 12th was a hard day for me to watch him for the last time, it gave me chills down my spine when I seen him on t.v.  My prayers are with everyone.

Benjamin Henderickson definately will be missed. He made the character of Hal Munson. ATWT will not be the same without him!

I was very, shocked and saddened by the death of Benjamin Hendrickson.  What a wonderful actor. As The World Turns will never be the same.  Our world will never be the same. There must have been more to this man than anyone ever knew.  He will be missed.

Sincerely,

I have always loved his portrayal of Hal. I remember when he took a break last year and Randolph Mantooth filled in for him. It just wasn't the same as our beloved Ben. I am truly saddened by his passing. May his soul rest in peace.

My mother, husband & I are all long time fans of ATWT.  It doesn't even scratch the surface to say that we are all deeply saddened by his passing.  I thought it would be nice if ATWT did kind of a "best of" episode chronicling his many wonderful years on the show.  I only wish he could have found whatever peace he was searching for in this lifetime.

So many people have submitted such loving tributes to Benjamin Hendrickson, all of which show how many hearts he touched with his wonderful gift for acting.  It is so sad for those left behind to see the void created by his loss.

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family, co-workers and those left to mourn.

Respectfully,

Benjamin was a tremendous actor , I was devastated to hear he is gone. It is so sad to think that this man with so much talent chose to leave this world in such an untimely and horrible manner.

He will NEVER be forgotten by his long time fans such as myself. God Bless You and may you now have the peace you obviously were seeking.
