He's a pretty well preserved 90 year old! My best memory of him was when Schonfeld was traded (1981?) and Azar caught up to him at the airport and Schony hugged him and was crying and Azar was speechless.

He lives outside of Pinehurst, NC and is doing fine.

True story: When I was  a teenager my father took me to see the movie Sophie's Choice. We went a theater in Amherst and sitting in the row in front of us was Rick Azar.

 

I was transfixed, as we always had Eyewitness News on at our home, and kept stealing glances at my daily link to the Bills and Sabres.

 

As the movie came to a climax women in the audience were weeping loudly and the men were choking up. (If you've never seen it, don't seek it out. It is one of the most heart-wrenching movies ever made and I don't ever want to see it again.)

 

The house lights came up and Rick stood up with tears in his eyes. Someone in his party said, "Well, what did you think?"

 

Mr. Azar spoke for us all when he replied, "Heavy movie, man. Heavy movie."

 

Happy Birthday, Rick!

Rick with al meltzer and Eddie R, doing bills games with the juice. Those are my memories.

It's eleven o'clock, do you know where your children are? 

 

Was that channel 7? 

The Travis Henry variation:  “It’s eleven o’clock.  Do you know who your children are?”

Yup, Channel 7 with the 11pm warning, and the commercial of the old bag smoking a dart through the hole in her throat for a few years in the late 1990s
