Hollywood’s heaven has another angel. American actor, Tom Bosley died on Tuesday at the age of 83. Tom “was a warm and comforting presence on American TV sets for decades.” wrote Associated Press. Bosely, best known for his role of Howard Cunningham, father of three kids on “Happy Days” TV Show, was ranked by TV Guide at No. 9 on its list of the “50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time”. Not only viewers, but also Bosely himself fell in love with his role. “Kids were watching their parents grow up, and parents were watching themselves grow up. And that was the key to success of that show.” said Bosley in 2000 interview. Ron Howa! rd, who played Richie Cunningham, said that Tom was incredible actor who knew how to make them all laugh. His last conversation with Tom “reflected the love of life and peace of mind that he always maintained throughout his full and rewarding life.” said Howard. Bosely’s another college, Marion Ross, who played Marion Cunningham on the show, said he was her husband for 11 years and the father of the company in many ways. His ability to fix the end of a joke or a scene on the spot made him incredible team-mate.

As Bosley’s agent Sheryl Abrams said, Tom who had lung cancer died at heart failure at a hospital near his home in Palm Springs.
