    tom bosley dead at age 83

    tom bosley, who played pops cunningham in "happy days", has died.

    that sucks. if you are my age or close to my age, you probably watched "happy days" as a kid.

    sad but the ol' dude had a good run.

    Awww Mr. Cunningham is dead. . .that's sad. . . .What is more sad is that I thought for some reason he was already dead. I know that I am getting old, because when I hear of a famous person dying. . .more often than not nowadays. .I am more surprised to find that they were alive still than I am surprised that they died.

    did he also do the voice-over at the start of the show saying "happy days is filmed before a live studio audience" or something along those lines?

    i've seen a few episodes of happy days, but i'm quite sure it was already in re-run stages by then. can't recall any specific episodes or plots, it's been ages.

    I believe he was also the voice of True Value hardware store commercials for many years, having played a hardware store owner in Happy Days. Eyyyy, Mr. C, rest in peace!

    RIP Tom

    As an avid Happy Days viewer in my youth, I'm pretty bummed about this loss.

    I can't believe Tom Bosley was only 83?! He always seemed older gentleman and then eventually...when I was still a kid just plain old. I would have pegged him well into his 90s by now.

    Damn, what a great character he played in Mr. C, what a comforting voice he had.

    RIP

    Here's the third one. Boy from Tarzan died. He was 79. Cheetah outlived them all.
