To the Family of Dick Falcone:
When I read about Dick's passing I remembered a story my parents told me about Dick.
It was 1940 or 1941 in Westfield and Dick lived next to my parents Eugene and Marjorie Jacox. They lived at 25 Kent Street. I was a toddler at the time and Dick was in his late teens.
Apparently Dick, and perhaps his group, liked to practice their music in the evenings which entertained my parents. They enjoyed the music and loved Dick, but Mom said that at the time she thought if she heard "Jersey Bounce" one more time, she'd scream.
Later, my parents became re-acquainted with Dick in Erie when he had the Juvenile Bootery on W. 26th Street and Dad managed the A&P store at 26th and Brown Avenue, where I met Dick.
Since so many years have gone by, I was quite interested to read about Dick's wonderful and successful long life.
My sincerest sympathy to all upon his passing.
