Longtime TV producer Herman Rush has died from natural causes at the age of 94.

Rush, who once served as Columbia Pictures Television’s president, died in Los Angeles on December 12, Deadline reported Wednesday.

Rush was instrumental in bringing the iconic TV series All in the Family to the air in the late 1960s, as he purchased a number of intellectual properties from British Lord Lew Grade.

The sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, acquired in the purchase, was subsequently sold to Norman Lear, who adapted it into All in the Family. Lear himself died earlier this month at the age of 101.
