I  crossed paths with Dick many a time back in my radio days in the 80s.   
He did make things happen.  My best wishes to his family and  friends.

Ok, Dick, go toot your trombone with ol' Gabriel, but "Don't  play 
Hindustan !!"

Traveling with Dick and the band to Europe for Jazz Dagen when Larry Wright 
 was playing with them is one of my all time favorite memories. We drove 
out to  Arizona for rehursels many times before the trip and always stayed at 
Dicks  house where we really had a great times, a wonderful host and an all 
around  great guy. He will be missed.
