Death of the Firstborn Egyptians

Dave was hella funny and brilliantly creative and kinda nuts, with a good heart that apparently just stopped this morning. We both had comic strips in the Daily Illini in the late 1980's; his, "Bob 'n' Dave," was amazing: clever, hilarious, gonzo, and unpretentiously deep. Much later, as the Duke of Uke, he made "Spider Suite" which I used in my film Seder-Masochism. His was the absolutely perfect voice of Death, and if there is an afterlife I hope he's simultaneously entertaining and scaring the pants off any souls he meets.
