He was my favorite fake dad. My parents were divorced, and in a way, he helped raise me.

That’s very cool! (I like Mr. Rogers myself, for similar reasons.)

Rest in peace, Mr. C.

People Magazine reports that he had a staph infection.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Bosley. I have many wonderful memories of “Happy Days”. You, Sir, played a HUGE role. I am sorry to see you leave us, Sir.

It’s so weird, the other night I was watching Kolchak- the Night Stalker on netflix and he was in the one with the lizard eggs. I’m not going to even try and explain it, you’ll just have to watch it. lol Anyway, Tom was the clerk or whatever and I was wondering if he was still around but never got around to looking him up. Now I know.
I always loved the trash bag commercials in the 80’s when I was a little kid (giving my age away here...)
Very sad, he had a great voice...very soothing, like he could never get mad.lol RIP Tom, I’m gonna miss you, buddy! <3

Good choice! You could have picked Al Bundy. :-D
