I am very saddened by the news of the passing of "Uncle Dick". I knew Dick through his nephew, George Ricci, and he was also my supervisor when we worked together at Columbia Pictures Videocassette Services in 1979-81. I will always have many fond memories of "Dicky". To paraphrase what he used to say to us kids each Friday night---"You got my permission...to go straight to heaven......"



Rest in peace.

Tom Prokop & family
