WWME, better known as Chicago's Me-TV is paying tribute to two fondly-remembered television sitcom parents who each passed away in recent days. Barbara Billingsley died this past on Saturday, October 16 at the age of 94, and Tom Bosley died yesterday, October 19th at the age of 83. Both will be given marathon salutes this coming weekend on Me-TV.
Actress Barbara Billingsley was best known as the soft-spoken June Cleaver, the mother on the classic television show "Leave it to Beaver." Tom Bosley (a Chicago native) was a character actor who was featured in numerous movies and television series, but will always be best remembered as Howard "Mr. C" Cunningham, the father figure on the family sitcom, "Happy Days."
