When viewers first met him, he was a single father helping children Jack, Ashley and Traci navigate adulthood.
In later years, Abbott wed Jill Foster, and they had a son, Billy.
He also had several romantic reunions with his estranged ex-wife, Dina Mergeron.
Abbott was a mainstay in Genoa City until his death in 2006.
He then made appearances as a ghost who continued to counsel his children, with his last appearance on the show coming in 2016.
“Jerry came to Y&R in 1982 with an impressive résumé of credits,” executive producer Anthony Morina said in a statement.
