Hey Larry, a "New York edge", ya gotta problem with dat?

Seriously, Dave and I were friends and his "edge" was greatly exaggerated by many here in NYC.
I just received this note from the famous former Bass Clarinetist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Ron Reuben:

"I last spoke with Dave about two weeks ago at which time he was in such a state of agitation at having misplaced or lost his teeth that he gave the phone to the woman who was caring for him rather than continue any further conversation.

I had decided to wait until some time would elapse and that he would hopefully cool down before attempting to contact him again.

I waited too long.

Dave and I were good friends for a period of more than twenty years or so. Ours was a relationship of many shared stories and laughs and mutual respect. I shall miss him and remember him with much fondness for the rest of my days. Ron"
