According to TMZ, the sitcom actor was battling a staph infection before dying on October 1 at his home in Palm Springs, CA.
Bosley played the father of Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) on the 1970s comedy.
"I saw him before I ever got to Hollywood on Broadway, and he was great," former Happy Days star Henry Winkler said about Bosley.
Winkler added to KNX-1070 News Radio: "I'm in shock, I really am. I spoke to him just a few weeks ago and he seemed to be getting his strength back."
The actor won a Tony award for his performance as New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia in the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1959 musical Fiorello!.
He also starred in the TV series Father Dowling Mysteries and appeared in the recent film The Back-up Plan.
