She writes: "We could never mourn such an amazing man. He would HATE to cry on his behalf. It's time to celebrate the legacy he left for all of us. I love you daddy. You love me. loved you too. My heart is heavy but I am strong. I will take care of Mom, your love of almost 60 years. You raised me well and she is in good hands. Rest easy."

Mosley may be remembered as Theodore 'TC' Calvin on the '80s OG 'Magnum' series, opposite Tom Selleck. His character ran a helicopter company on the show and often helped the main man out of a traffic jam by ferrying him around the Hawaiian island.

He actually played two other characters within the same franchise and starred in "MPI" for a total of 8 years, with 158 episodes under his belt. Of course, REM has also been on several other hit TV shows over the years... not to mention a few movies here and there too.

Some of the shows he has performed in... "Love Boat", "Night Gallery", "Sanford and Son", "Kung Fu", "Kojak", "McCloud", "The Rockford Files", "The The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams", "Starsky and Hutch", "You Take the Kids", "Night Court", "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Rude Awakening", "Las Vegas," "Fact-Checking Unit" and many more.
