Goddard Remembers His Late Father
Goddard, known to GH fans as Professor Dalton and Y&R fans as Cane, took to Instagram with a touching tribute to his late dad.
“My father has passed away. As I sit here and reflect upon his life, I’m flooded with memories of all the advice that he gave me growing up. We’d always call them tips and tricks. Like, ‘You’ve gotta look the part to get the part!’ And ‘Take care, save wear!'” Goddard continued, “There were so many that at the time you just don’t seem to understand what it is they’re trying to teach you. But once I became a father and had my own sons, it all started to make sense. Thank you for everything you did for me, Dad. I learned more from you than you ever could have imagined. Rest in peace. I love you, your son… Daniel.”
Goddard’s post was met with hundreds of comments from people sharing their love and keeping the actor in their thoughts. Former Y&R co-stars flooded the comments, with Tracey Bregman (Lauren) writing, “Daniel- I’m so so sorry. Sending you and your family so much love.” Melissa Ordway (Abby) commented, “I’m so sorry. Sending you love and prayers.”
Jessica Collins (Avery) wrote, “I’m so sorry for your loss, Daniel,” while Tamara Clatterbuck (Alice) commented, “I’m so sorry love. You are in my heart and prayers today.”
Doug Davidson (Paul) left his former co-star a lengthy comment, saying, “I send my deepest condolences. Losing your corner stones is so difficult, but I know beyond any doubt, he lives on in you and your sons. Keep an eye out, he will give you a sign. God bless him, you and of course your mother.
Of course fans were also filling up the comments section with love for Goddard. “Losing a parent never gets easy, no matter what the age,” one said, while another shared, “Cherish your memories – they’ll help get you through.”
Goddard recently mourned the loss of his on-screen Y&R father Tristan Rogers (Colin), and reunited with on-screen mom Genie Francis (Laura) on the set of GH.
