Dick Assman, the Regina gas station worker whose surname led to a brief stint on David Letterman's late-night talk show, has died at age 82.

Assman, who was born in Neudorf, Sask., in 1934, died on Monday.

He worked as a manager, mechanic and gas attendant at service stations in Saskatchewan his whole life.

In the summer of 1995, Assman became an instant celebrity when the Late Show host took an interest in his name.

I remember him well. Guy seemed to be really good-natured about it all.
 
I don't think I've ever seen Letterman.

;)

What a tragic name. Do parents ever think these things out?
 
I remember in Junior High, we had a kid named Randy Dick...


Now, it being Junior High, you know what he went through.
 
I knew a woman named Laura Dix who married a guy named David Cox.

She went with the hyphenated last name.
