RIP Mr. C.

Tom Bosley, the actor who helped make Milwaukee famous with his portrayal of Howard Cunningham in the famous show "Happy Days," passed away today:

Tom Bosley, the folksy father of Richie Cunningham on the '70s sitcom about the '50s, ABC's Happy Days, died Tuesday in his Palm Springs, Calif., home. On Oct. 1, he had turned 83.

The actor died of a staph infection, according to TMZ, which first reported his death.

Other reports that I've heard said he also had heart problems and lung cancer.
