Dick's great love was his long running, syndicated radio show, "Make Believe Ballroom" heard up and down the East Coast where he played Big Band Music for his many fans. Over the years, Dick met many of those band leaders and had some great stories to share. He also had a Band in South Jersey that played on the board walk in Ocean City among other places.
Dick had a great sense of humor and always had a good joke to share. He was a fixture in Strathmere and will be sorely missed by his family and many loyal friends.
