Herb Tarlek died yesterday

[votan]

Little Rocks own Frank Bonner died at age 79 yesterday. He is was an actor on WKRP in Cincinnati.

His desk on WKRP always had a Razorback coffee cup on it. Prayers for his family.

HE always had a Razorback mug on his desk or in his hand when it was appropiate.

Someone said that was the brother of former channel 4 weatherman Tom Bonner.

I never knew that.

Don’t believe so. Bonner was a stage name. His real name was Frank Boers. Now Tom Bonner may be a stage name too, but he grew up in rural Monroe County.

And LR is mostly Pulaski county…Now Tom Bonner may be a stage name too, but he grew up in rural Monroe County.
RIP Razorback Fan!

Herb was always chasing after Jennifer. I wonder if he ever caught her?

Someone slipped that tidbit into the L.A. Times’ obituary:

A native of Arkansas whose birth name was Frank Boers Jr., he was raised in the city of Malvern. An Arkansas Razorbacks mug was often seen on his “WKRP” desk. His Hollywood career began in the 1970s with the film “Equinox” and on TV dramas, including “The Young Lawyers” and “Mannix.”
