Liora, Jonathan and Family. So sad to hear this. I worked at UJA with David for about 18 years. He had a 'work' demeanour and a 'personal ' demeanour and I was lucky to be privy to both. A true gentleman. May his memory be of a blessing.

Dear Jonathan, Liora and Zion Family, I worked with your Dad at UJA for over 15 years until I retired. He was a lovely man, a real gentleman, who had real values and adored his family. I ran into him at TJFF about three years ago and the Zion smile was ever present with a big hug. My condolences to you all. May his memory be for a blessing and may he Rest In Peace with his Ireney.

David and I were first cousins. My mother Ethel and his father Ellis were brother and sister. I hadn’t seen David for over thirty years as we emigrated to Australia and Canada. My memory of him is that he was an exceptionally gentle and fine man. And the messages here say they same. I wish his family long life
