Dick Van Patten, beloved TV Dad and Mel Brooks movie mainstay, died yesterday at age 86. Poker fans know him as Vince Van Patten's father and lover of the game, as well as a poker commentator. RIP and good vibes to Vince and the rest of his family.

You're right! I edited my post to reflect that.

i met him very briefly once when he was there with vince for a father/son tournament. vince was very douchey but dick was excited that i wanted to meet him "I loved you in spaceballs and eight is enough" brought a huge smile

RIP
