He was a man wholoved his family above all else, but dedicated much of his life to giving back tothose in need.As a WWII veteran, an attorney and a commodities trader at the ChicagoMercantile Exchange, David also led a full and active life of walking hisbeloved French Mastiff named Paula, nature photography, riding his bicycle,attending concerts and cultural events, and volunteering his time to his favoriteenvironmental and animal-focused charities. He also spent most of his time withhis wife and life-long friend, Patricia, to whom he was married for 56 years.David had a special love for helping animals and a knack for finding homelessdogs and litters of cats. He often took them into his home to foster and socializethem, had them spayed/neutered, and personally found each one a loving home.He was known for putting clever ads in the local paper for the pets like “Elegantyoung feline with impeccable taste and breeding desires permanent lodging infine home with adoring family. Sleeps late. Enjoys aerobics and gourmet cuisine.High IQ.”One of his rescues, who eventually became a part of his family, was Paula. Shewas found on the streets in terrible condition and had been so abused that theveterinarian didn’t think she would survive. David provided months of care andlove to bring Paula back to good health and they became lifelong friends, alongwith his three cats, Gigi, Chatka and Grace.In his hometown of Oak Park, Illinois, David regularly walked dogs forseniors and those who worked long hours. He was known throughout theneighborhood as someone who was always there to help in a pinch, regardlessof the time of day.David was also an avid supporter of PAWS Chicago, dedicating time andresources to help save lives. He and Patricia regularly visited the Rescue &Recovery Center where they would walk dogs and provide care to animalsbefore they were available for adoption. David and Patricia also gave generouslyto PAWS in support of its No Kill mission.David’s generosity and compassion for animals and those in need continuesto live among the lives that he touched. At his memorial in May, David’s wife,Patricia, and children Susan, Michael and Robert, requested that donations goto PAWS Chicago so that homeless pets could continue to be saved after hewas gone. In addition, his body was donated to the Biological Resource Centerof Illinois (9501 W. Devon Ave, Rosemont, Illinois) which the family highlyrecommends. David’s last gift was to donate the money that would have beenspent on a funeral to various charities, including PAWS Chicago.44
