oh you beat me to it. I was going to post this news since I just saw it in an article on my home page.

I really liked Tom Bosely, I first knew him not as the dad on Happy Days but as Father Downey. My mother loved that show and I remember watching it with her. I thought he was sweet and endearing then. My other personal exposure of Bosely was through David the Gnome on Nick jr. I loved that cartoon and I thought David had such soothing and kind voice. He really made the character.

rest in peace Tom Bosely. You are another great talent from good ol' days who have left us.

You will be missed Tom Bosley.

Before Happy Days, he did a cartoon series for Hanna-Barbera called Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. It was a forerunner to the Simpsons because it geared to adults & was patterned after All In The Family.

In 1977, Bosley also did the Genreal Mills Radio Advernture Theater for a year on CBS Radio.

In 1978, he voiced the insect, Bah Humbug on the Rankin Bass holiday special, The Stingiest Man In Town.

He also did Father Dowling Mysteries seen on NBC & ABC.

The one guest appearance I remember he did was on Boy Meets World when Cory (Ben Savage) went back to the 1950's. Anson Williams & Pat Morita also were on that episode.

I recently saw him in a 2005 movie called Popstar which starred Aaron Carter.

Yeah, I heard about this. That sucks. He'll be missed. Another TV legend has left us. It's too bad I never really watched Happy Days that much. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
