HOSPICE HEROES
MAKE LIFE II ETTER
David Techner's father, Harry, was not
religious, but discussions with rabbis on Jewish
views about death and afterlife comforted him
greatly at the end of his life.
"The rabbis said the shema with my Dad while
he laid in his hospital bed dying, and he never
would have done that alone," said David
Techner, co-founder and president of Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network. "I watched
my father die in peace, and that became the
vision for Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy
Network."

111 ) avid Fox, 71, of Pontiac,
died July 20, 2007.
He was one of Detroit's
leading actors, making his mark in
local professional theater in the
1980s and '90s.
His presence and
mellifluous voice
graced the stages
of the Attic Theatre,
the Detroit Repertory
Theatre, the Actor's
Renaissance Theatre,
the Fourth Street
Playhouse, the Jewish
Ensemble Theatre,
the Actor's Alliance
David Fox
Theatre and the
University of Detroit
Theatre Company.
His work won many nominations
from local papers.
For his portrayal of traumatized
Vietnam veteran in The Speed of
Darkness at the U of D Theatre
Company, he won the Detroit Free
Press Best Actor award in 1992.
People always stopped him on the
street to compliment him, even 20
years after his performance as Kurt
Mueller in Lillian Hellman's Watch
on the Rhine at the Attic Theatre.
Recently he performed in lec-
ture-readings at the Institute for
Retired Professionals and the Adult
Learning Institute. He was the epit-
ome of the "educated" man, teach-
ing himself languages, history and
literature. Reading was his passion.
He was a person who
never stopped learn-
ing. The question to
him was always, "Well,
what are you studying
now?"
He was thrilled to
have passed that pas-
sion on to his grand-
daughter.
Because his family
(daughter Pilar and
son Juan) lived out of
town, his actor-friends
remained his "family".
Mr. Fox is survived by his children,
Juan Fox of Quincy, Mass., Pilar and
Jerry Zeglin of Cincinnati, Ohio;
grandchildren, Augustina (Jon)
Geltka, Ian Zeglin and Andreanna
Zeglin; the children's mother, Marga
Zieger; and by Shaw, Leigh and Jill.
Private interment. Contributions

Foundation, 3711 W.13 Mile Road,
Royal Oak, MI 48073 or the Actors
