Frank Bonner, who played Herb Tarlek on the sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati" has died, according to TMZ. He was 79.

Bonner passed away "peacefully" Wednesday amid his battle with Lewy body dementia, his family told TMZ.

As Herb on "WKRP" in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bonner was the quintessential salesman in a gaudy plaid suit and white loafers, despite struggling as a radio station sales manager who consistently failed to reel in the big accounts.

I always thought Jennifer, Him, and Venus Flytrap were the reasons to watch the show.  Johnny Fever was okay, but he would get a little too serious sometimes sort of like "Hawkeye" would on M*A*S*H.  Herb was just a pervert you loved to hate sort of like Frank Burns "eats worms".  RIP
