Shame he had such an awful end.
It really is quite a particular type of message board that responds to the news that a person of interest was ACTUALLY MURDERED with a barrage of willy jokes.

Following the levity inspired by Richard J. "Dick" Rising's name, after learning of his passing almost 40 years ago I think it's important that we take a moment to pay our respects to the man that Dennis Wilson described as "One of the greatest guys I've ever met in my life" and of whom Smiley Smile message board poster BrettD said, "He was a great guy & I will always remember him with deep respect."

You're right, CM.
BrettD left us one post without further details on Dick's life. Then he faded like the Beatles of Hey Jude. He spelt "Capitol" incorrectly twice, but his timeline seems about right. If Brett
did
work for Mr. Rising, it was only for a year or less, because Dick passed away in mid September the following year (1974).
From a brief article in Billboard, 10/5/74:
LOS ANGELES - Funeral services for Richard J. "Dick" Rising, 48, who for 23 years worked for MGM and Capitol Records, were held Monday (23) at Forest Lawn Cemetary in Glendale. Rising was slain in his Hollywood apartment by two men who are being held by police on murder charges. Surviving him are his widow, Kathy, and two daughters.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

And I was just about to post the cover to a Dick Hyman LP.
In all seriousness, a belated R.I.P. to Mr. Rising!

Sounds like he was well-liked and very knowlegeable about the music business.
