'Happy Days' Stars Pay Tribute to Tom Bosley

Henry Winkler and Scott Baio -- who both co-starred with Tom Bosley on
"Happy Days" -- tell TMZ they are both shocked by his death ... but
remember their former castmate as a "great man."

Winkler tells us, "I saw him before I ever got to Hollywood on
Broadway, and he was great. And then I got to act with him for 10
years and he was great. Tom Bosley was our mentor. He was a true
artist ... a great husband, and a fabulous father and grandfather. He
will be sorely missed, but never forgotten."

Baio adds, "He was a good man who taught me a lot about the business
and business itself. He was a professional guy ... I'm sad."

RIP, Amos.

But "shocked"? He was 83. Yes, that probably seems young when you're
there, but it's not exactly youth. "Shocked" would be learning that
Bosley was going to become a father, or something.

Maybe they were shocked he was still around that long...or that he was that
old. Like...oh my God...if he was THAT old...what am I?

I heard that Frank was not only still alive but still golfing. Well,
good for him.

Damn press agents! Next they'll be calling his death "a tragedy".

Or "untimely" death.

The dude who played Homer Bedlow on Petticoat Junction sure was
"Gyped". Only lived to 102!

They needn't had to be working on the same projects to remain in
touch. How do you know they didn't call each other up and have golf
each weekend? In it is always a shock when a friend dies and there is
a difference between shock and surprise.By today's standard 70 isn't
all that old anymore so he could had been surprised ant Bosley's death
as well.

----
See above there is a difference between shock and surprise. And if
Frank Cady is in relative good health it would be still be a shock if
not really a surprise.
