According to Rick's mother, Sandy ... he passed away Monday night surrounded by
loved ones at a hospital in Warwick, New Jersey. We're told he'd battled the
illness for about a year and a half.
Sadly, Rick's brother, Danny Aiello III, also died of pancreatic cancer in
2010. Their father died in December 2019 from an infection related to a sudden
illness he was being treated for ... as we first reported.
Rick followed in his father's footsteps as a veteran actor with more than 60
credits to his name, beginning in the mid-80s. He's most known for appearing in
the same movie that earned his dad critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination --
Spike Lee's 1989 film, "Do the Right Thing."
Rick played Officer Long ... just like he did in Spike's "Jungle
Fever" a couple years later.
He also had notable roles in "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" and made
guest appearances on shows like 'Law & Order' and "Sex and the
City."
Ricky is survived by his wife, Arlene Anne Urichich, and their 2 kids.
He was 65.
