Naturally you remember Tom as Richie’s dad on Happy Days, the sheriff on Murder, She Wrote and the Father Dowling Mysteries—okay, you don’t remember, but your grandparents do. But here’s Tom in one of his most endearing roles!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. Sunday, Monday, Happy Days. Tuesday…sad day.

    Probably no truth to the rumor that old Tom’ll be buried at Forest Lawn in a Glad 3-Ply StressFlex trash bag…

  3. met him some 19 years ago in palm springs. man was he a grumpy old man back then. can only imagine how angry he was when he finally kicked the Fonz out of his garage apartment, sold the house, and moved to hell. hope he likes sharing a bunk bed with john wayne…
