David Dworkin Obituary
David Martin
David Martin Dworkin, age 61, passed away Wednesday evening, September 2, 2015, after a short but brutal battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed by many family and friends. David worked for 17 years as staff attorney at UAW Legal Services Plan, and had a special talent for rapport with his clients as well as a brilliant mind for his trade. David had many hobbies, including coffee roasting, watching the Oakland Raiders, fishing, and playing with his devoted German Shepherd, Kayli. Originally from Cleveland and then the Bay Area, he came back to Cleveland for law school and there he and his wife and eternal soul mate, Nina, met 25 years ago.
David was predeceased by his brother, Seth and his father, Albert, and is survived by his loving wife, Nina; his adoring mother, Rosalind Gordon, of Berkeley; his brothers and sisters-in-law, Lisa Gitlin, Kathy Gittel, Robert Gitlin (Barb), Martin Gitlin (Mitzi), Kathy Dworkin; his nephew, Aaron Dworkin; great-nephew, Aaron Jr.; nieces, Emily and Melanie, and many close cousins including, Amy Burton, of Cincinnati, and Margery Lamden, of Seattle. David and Nina had many thoroughly loved and spoiled pets through the years, including, Rusty, China, Kayli, Smokey, Macho, Rollie, Tsippi, Blot and Maxie.
Memorial services will be held this Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Robert H. Wick/ Wisniewski Funeral Home, 2426 N. Reynolds Road, after which a procession will go to the cemetery and then family and friends will gather at David and Nina's home at 3512 Wyckliffe Pkwy. in Toledo.

David was kind, patient, and loving. His cheerfulness, positivity, and sense of humor made me always enjoy being around him. When I was a kid, he was such a fun uncle to hang out with, and I'll cherish the memories of the time we spent together.

David was among the kindest people I have ever met. His friendship through the years to my 96 year old aunt Mary has meant so much to her and to me. He will be missed so very much.
