Rest in peace, Tom Bosley. Tom is most famous for his portrayal of Mr. Cunningham on the show Happy Days, with Ron Howard and Henry “The Fonz” Winkler. He also did a few movies and some other TV sitcoms, but nothing as big of a hit as the Happy Days show.
Tom was 83 years old. He was battling lung cancer and had heart failure, according to his publicist. From MSNBC:
TV Guide ranked Bosley’s Happy Days character No. 9 on its list of the “50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time” in 2004. The show debuted in 1974 and ran for 11 seasons.
“Tom’s insight, talent, strength of character and comic timing made him a vital central figure in the ‘Happy Days’ experience. A great father and husband, and a wonderful artist, Tom led by example, and made us all laugh while he was doing it,” said a statement from Ron Howard, who played Bosley’s son, Richie Cunningham.
He had a long and successful career in Hollywood. Best wishes to his friends and family.
