Dale Clevenger died on the 5th in Italy.

I'm glad we had him around to enjoy his playing and persona for so many years.

Seeing that his second wife's maiden name is "Grassi", I tend to wonder whether she was a member of family that manufactures instruments, or whether that's (simply) a common name in Italy.

edit: google tells me that she plays horn, and here is a link to Grassi Musical Instruments:

She also looked 30 years younger than him..hopefully the end of his life was fruitful with a young beautiful wife.

Sorry to see so many of the old guard passing. My prayers to his family and friends.
