What a life he had and what a loss to all.
Bob and I only knew Dave at the annual Jazz Party, but I certainly understand how talented and personable he was.
I fondly remember breakfasts we had with Dave and some of his musicians and his graciousness and generosity were outstanding. When we were unable to attend the full weekend he kindly accepted our partial ticketing. Certainly a loss to our La Jolla community. Dave, may you rest in peace for a life so well lived. Susan & Bob
