When I entered into the theatre concession business in 1978, and for the next 12 years, Dick was the attorney for my company. He handled contracts, licensing and compliance. He also represented Jane and me in the purchase of residential property.

Aside from his excellence as an attorney, Dick was always a gentleman. Jane and I were very fond of him. He will be missed.

Dear Fran and family,
Our most sincere condolences. Dick will be greatly missed by the theatrical community. Please know our prayers are with you.

Dick was a wonderful man...he was so kind and astute to our family especially to my father Elliot Martin who respected and liked him so very much. 
They had a long professional and personal relationship.

Dick Ticktin was "a prince of a fellow".  He advised and negotiated for me for 25 years, and I admired him greatly. I always relished visits and lunches with him when I passed through New York. He will be missed.  A long and well-lived life indeed.

Oh no! not Dick, he's too young. 

We met as teen-agers at Camp Watitoh in the Berkshires, played softball, tennis and pingpong, later on the squash courts together at the City Athletic Club. Our drama counselor at Watitoh was Jerry Bock who directed the Camp production of H.M.S. Pinafore! going on to write Fiorello! and Fiddler on the Roof. Dick's friendship with Jerry was the beginning of Dick's outstanding career as a lawyer in theater and entertainment.

Dick was one of my favorite people and doubles squash partner . We met when he joined the CAC and played squash on a regular basis. If I was having a bad day on the back hand I could always depend on him to have my back . If it were really bad we could always switch sides . He was that kind of partner. Our lockers were right next to one another at CAC and we always spoke; sometimes of politics, theater or the world in general.
When CAC was going downhill we tried to help but it was a lost cause. Independently
We applied to the University Club down the street and met changing for squash on our first day there not knowing the other had applied. Elliot Dorfman and Leo Bretter rounded out the game. 
Play on Dick, I will miss you and your dry sense of humor.

Dick Ticktin was a great attorney and a lovely gentleman.  When I became one of the attorneys representing the legendary Broadway hit ANNIE some years ago, Dick (whose history with the play extended to its beginnings over 40 years ago) was a very generous colleague and mentor.  He will be missed by so many of us in the theater industry.
