Dave Madden -- who played "The Partridge Family's" aggravated band manager on the 1970s TV show -- has died after a long illness at age 82 ... TMZ has learned.
Madden played Reuben Kincaid on the show ... who was often bedeviled by the antics of the Partridge kids, particularly Danny, played by Danny Bonaduce.
Dave's former agent tells TMZ ... he died of congestive heart and kidney failure early this morning.

Having grown up in a Christian household in the 90’s, I will remember Dave Madden as the voice of Bernard Walton on the radio show, Adventures in Odyssey.
I just saw something on David carradine’s dad. Tragic.
Not a good day for bad sitcom stars. Bob
I believe that they were friends well into Bonaduce’s adulthood.
RIP.
Hasn't he been toes up for eons?
He was in The Grapes of Wrath, fer cryin out loud...
Dag, first the professor from Gillians Island now him.
A twofer today on my 2014 Celebrity Death List. And there’s still 5 hours and 45 minutes left...
R.I.P. gentlemen, you made TV fun.
So if two more celebs die then what happens?
Oh, I am so sad. He was good in The Partridge Family, but I LOVED his vocal work in The Adventures in Odyssey. Great series and he was one of the stars.
Abe Vigoda maybe. Is he still alive?
Beside making things, the Professor was good in making instruments. Perhaps Mr. Kincaid will become his manager =)
The Professor from Gilligan’s Island died today also. I’m starting to feel old.
Bad sitcom stars or stars of bad sitcoms? :-)
As a matter of fact, he is. How, I have no idea.
Just as well. Surely, he was sick of being asked if he used to call NFL games.
Then that would be a fourfer. Provided they are on my list. Speaking of, anyone hear from Al Molinaro lately? How about Doris Day?...
I actually loved Gilligan, but I think it was so bad it was good. Russell Johnson seemed like a very good actor to me.
He was on many TV shows....he was on Alice for a few yrs (played Tommy Hyatt’s hoops coach).
He was quite funny on the Partridge Family, he will be missed RIP Dave Madden
RIP.
