83's not so bad. He had a good run. I used to love the show Happy Days when I was younger.

Homer: It'll be great to see the old gang again. Potsie, Ralph Malph, the Fonz.
Marge: That wasn't you, that was "Happy Days"!
Homer: No, they weren't all happy days. Like the time Pinky Tuscadero crashed her motorcycle, or the night I lost all my money to those card sharks and my dad Tom Bosley had to get it back.

You know Tom Bosely was Jewish by birth.
Even though he was born in Chicago.
there is really no actual saying in Hebrew for Rest In peace.
the closest you could come is -- Zichro Leveracha which loosely translated means - may his memory be blessed!
Also in Jewish tradition - Tom Bosely ז"ל -- which basically means Tom Bosely RIP!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well.

I'm actually surprised he was 83. I thought he was quite a bit older.

Sorry to hear he died, he was great on happy days but then sold his soul to do the smc infomercials.
