Bill Geddie dead at 68: The View co-creator and Barbara Walters’ longtime producer dies from ‘coronary-related’ issues

THE View co-creator and Barbara Walters' longtime producer, Bill Geddie, has died at 68.

It has been reported that the iconic TV producer died from coronary-related issues.

"He was a big deal in TV, but at home he was an even ‘bigger than life’ husband and dad," Bill's family told Variety.

"He had a genuine love for television and entertainment. He would try everything and did it well — screenwriting, recording podcasts, playing guitar, writing songs, and loved a wide range of music from country to jazz. 

"His favorite band was The Beatles, and he never thought he would have the opportunity to meet one of his personal heroes Paul McCartney in person, but his dream came true. The question wasn’t who did he meet, but rather who didn’t he meet?"
