Up until his fearless battle with cancer David could frequently be seen with his wife Hannah walking in Kildonan Park throughout spring, summer and fall, while enjoying the warmth of Palm Springs in the winter months. David had a quiet wit that endeared him to everyone he came in contact with. He was deeply devoted to his family and worked tirelessly on their behalf. David was a kind and gentle man who was loved by all. Funeral services were held on Monday, October 2 at the Rosh Pina Synagogue officiated by Rabbi Neal Rose and Cantor Arky Berkal.
