I am so very saddened by the news of Dave's passing. Dave has been like an uncle to me, for over 40 years. I will treasure memories of music making and thanksgivings together. Sending love to his family, especially to dear beloved Yasuko.

I could write a book! So many happy times with Dave and Yasuko - wonderful dinners - too much to eat, too much to drink, music and so much laughter. Those good times will be greatly missed, as will your sense of humor. Will miss you dear friend - thank you for being your funny and clever self!
