Tom Bosley, Dad On Happy Days

JTA — Actor Tom Bosley, best known
as the Happy Days dad Howard
Cunningham, has died.
Bosley died Oct. 19, 2010, at his home
in Palm Springs, Calif., from heart failure
due to lung cancer. He was 83.
Bosley was a Tony Award winner, but
he gained his greatest fame as the patri-
archal father of the Cunningham clan on
Happy Days, the 1970s ABC sitcom about
life in 1950s and early 1960s Milwaukee.
Bosley was nominated for an Emmy
Award in 1978. The show, which ran
1974-1984, was No. 1 during the 1976-77
season.
Bosley also was known for his portray-
al of the crime-solving priest on Father
Dowling Mysteries and Sheriff Amos

He played himself in the 2004 movie
Paper Clips, about the efforts of middle-
school students in Whitwell, Tenn., to
collect 6 million paper clips in memory
of the victims of the Holocaust.
The effort and the paper clip he con-
tributed was meaningful to him, Bosley
told the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent.
"It was important for me as a Jew to
do it," he told the newspaper. "I had lost
a great uncle, whom I never met, in the
Holocaust."
Bosley reportedly found it amusing
that he played numerous priests during
his acting career even though he was
Jewish.
He won the Tony Award in 1960 for his
role in Fiorello! In 1994, he returned to
Broadway as Belle's father in the original
cast of the Disney musical Beauty and

the Beast. His most recent role was in the

A native of Chicago, he served in the
U.S. Navy during World War II.
