DAVID MENDELSON, 85, of Lathrup
Village, died Feb. 22, 2019.
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 pas-
sion 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 fam-
ily 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. He had an unshake-
able will to survive no matter what the
circumstances, but, like a cat, he finally
ran out of lives, and died at home, as he
wished, under hospice care.
He is survived by his wife, Mary
Mendelson; sister and broth-
er-in-law, Rose and Dr. Seymour
Berman; daughters, Karen Mendelson,
Linda Mendelson; son and daughter-
in-law, Michael and Beryl Mendelson;
grandchild, Anna Mendelson.
David was the son of the late Morris
and the late Esther Mendelson.

Domino; great-grandchildren, Kinley
