I was especially sad to hear about Tom Bosley's passing this morning.
I spent a day shadowing him for work circa summer 2007 and he was very gentle and kind, with a pretty sharp sense of humor. In fact, I'd dare to say he was kind of a cool cat.
At one point, I stood off to the side a little while so that he, Ed Asner and Dick Van Dyke could argue about who was the oldest son-of-a-bitch in the room. It was a rare, precious and hilarious moment I'll not soon forget.
Mr. Bosley, it was my pleasure to meet you and spend some time with you. Wherever you are, I imagine you are resting at peace. It may even look a litte like this, cool as you were:
How fabulous is that photo (what did we do before Google Images)? R.I.P., Mr. Bosley.
