JasonD......that happened years ago. He was very young. 44, at the time, and it was a tear in the aorta that caused his sudden death. Same thing that happened to John Ritter. Interesting thing about Biggs, he was completely deaf in one ear, partially deaf in the other, and learned sign language as a young boy. I wonder if he is the one who taught Steven Nichols (Steve) & Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) for the two storylines. (when Steve & Kayla found Benjy, who was deaf, and when Kayla herself became deaf.) I loved the friendship between Patch & Marcus (Biggs & Nichols) who were raised together in an orphanage.
