Mosley's family says he was involved in a car crash in the Lynwood area last week that left him paralyzed in the hospital. His daughter announced on Facebook that Mosley died on Sunday.

His daughter Ch-a Mosley wrote: "He was surrounded by family as he transcended peacefully. We could never mourn such an amazing man. He would HATE any crying done in his name. It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all. I love you daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy but I am strong."

His family says he still receives fan mail and requests for autographs from his role as T.C.

Mosley grew up in and continued to reside in the Los Angeles area. He and his wife, Antoinette Laudermick, were together for nearly 60 years and they had three children together.
