Former Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Herbert Denenberg died earlier this month.
Denenberg, 81, served as the Pennsylvania commissioner from 1971 to 1974, then spent 24 years working as a television consumer affairs reporter.
"Herb served as commissioner with one goal and focus: to fight for the rights and protections of the insurance-buying public," Joel Ario, the current Pennsylvania commissioner, says in a statement. "He was steadfast in his fight to protect the consumers of this commonwealth, often taking on large insurance companies and challenging them to do what was right."
