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.

daughter, Jan Domino; grandchildren, 
Jennifer and Noah Birmelin, and Jill 
Domino; great-grandchildren, Kinley

She was the beloved wife of the late
