Family Members:

David Leon Mendelson, son of Morris and Esther Mendelson(deceased); brother of Rose (Sy) Berman; father of Karen, Michael (Beryl) and Linda Mendelson; grandfather of Anna Mendelson; and husband of Mary Mendelson, died at home under hospice care on February 22, 2019 at age 85. Although Dave had an unshakeable will to survive no matter what the circumstances, cat-like, he finally ran out of of lives. Dave was a proud graduate of Wayne State University and a supporter of its golf team. His professional life was spent expanding the wholesale egg business started by his grandfather into the largest one in the Midwest, but his greatest passion was playing golf. Dave won many tournaments and played until he became too weak from heart failure to continue. Even then, he continued to enjoy the game, riding in a golf cart while others played. Dave also loved music, hanging out with his cronies, and baiting his family and friends on political issues. Dave was a generous friend to people from all walks of life. He had a brilliant mind and a stellar memory. He was mercurial and stubborn. No one who met him will easily forget him.
