'Happy Days' Beloved Dad Tom Bosley Dead At 83
For 11 years back in the '70s, he played Howard Cunningham.
On "The Early Show" Wednesday Don Most, who played Ralph Malph on the hit show, said Bosley was like a father to him in real-life.
"That was the case for the cast," Most, who's stll an actor, said. " ... Especially for me, I think I had recently moved to California. I was 20 years old. My family was on the East Coast. So, to a large degree, the 'Happy Days' gang became my West Coast family, and what better dad figure to have than 'Mr. C.,' in Tom Bosley. Unbelievable."
Most continued, "The four (main young male characters), when we first started the show, we were all single, single men, and then he saw us go through getting married, getting our first homes, and he loved to sit down with us sometimes before the day's work and find out what was going on in our lives and offer us some sage advice. And, you know, it really was -- he really was our dad in so many ways."
Most said he recently had a chance to speak to Bosley.
