A co-worker told me he passed away today.
He probably be remembered most for his role on the t.v show Happy Days.
I remember towards the end of the show that he had a Studebaker Lark.
I was watching a collection of Studebaker commercials a couple of weeks ago and there was one with him for the 56 Studebakers.
I'll have to see if I can find the commercial on Youtube.
another site says this....
so thanks to Studebaker he got started on TV.

Bosley got his acting debut on stage in the late 1940s, breaking into television in 1955 starring in commercials for Studebaker cars. That same year, he starred as the Knave of Hearts in the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation of "Alice in Wonderland."
so thanks to Studebaker he got started on TV.
