Dick Siegel Has Died-

One half of the legendary “Hal and Dick” team on WBAP has passed away. Earlier today he suffered a heart attack and died.



Recently Dick had been hosting a morning oldies show on KLDE 104.9FM in Eldorado, TX.



Dick Siegel was Hal Jay’s on-air partner from 1981 until 2003. While providing traffic information from his helicopter, Dick was part of the popular “Sam From Sales” comedy bits that aired for many years on the station.



Arrangements are pending.
 
I fondly remember their bits and the incomparable chemistry on the air. It was like listening to a couple of real good friends just getting along. Radio has lost a legend. My prayers go out to his family.
 
Ah yes, Sam from Sales, who sells from both sides of the desk. It was Hal's wheezing laugh that made the bit, of course. RIP.
 
First of all, Sam from Sales had nothing to do with Sieg. That was John's bit. Second, Hal's wheezy laugh was simply Hal being Hal. (And make no mistake, Hal was great.) But Dick was the catalyst, the guy who made it all happen. He was flat out funny. Dick Siegel was great. He was the master. HE MADE THE SHOW!!!!!! RIP my friend.
