If you haven't seen it, his cameo in Tenacious D's Pick Of Destiny is full on metal god awesomeness; see the full clip (NSFW) here:

The D loved Dio so much that they had a homage' song for him on the first album. Sidebar- Meatloaf was in the same aforementioned film.
Bring the Thunder....
"Dio"
Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.
It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.
And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!
