David Roth

I went to Oxy and Hastings with David. I was looking forward to seeing him at our Oxy 50 year reunion, but just saw a list of fellow Oxy graduates who have passed. I was saddened to see his passing.

I'm so saddened to hear that David has passed away. As a litigator, I knew David for easily twenty-five years. In more recent years, I had the honor and pleasure of mediating cases for him. I also attended a presentation he recently gave to the Contra Costa Bar Association Real Estate Section. I considered David as a friend and mentor.
David was the thoroughly likable chap, learned and skilled in the law and willing to share his knowledge. He was a true "mensch" and I will miss seeing him...

I am heartbroken. David was a strong supporter of the State Bar of California Real Property Law Section and he will be sorely missed by those of us honored to get to know him. My condolences to Mary and the family.

My heart breaks to hear of David's passing. He was a Gentleman and a Scholar. We crossed paths many times in the building where we both worked. He had a warm smile and a calm energy. He looked dapper in his hat. I could always feel when David was in the building. I thought of him as the Silent Watcher, always there to help, giving me a key if I locked myself out of my office, or seeing his car parked in the lot. I felt happy knowing he was there.

I will forever celebrate David's...

We've lost one of the finest gentlemen one can ever meet.

I just learned of David's passing and am so saddened and surprised. David and I were adversaries and tried a lawsuit against one another years ago and developed great mutual respect. We worked together on a few cases and called on one another for advice and occasionally had dinner or drinks. I always enjoyed the thought that we would have future comversations. He was such a smart, kind and decent fellow, I will miss him greatly. My deep condolences to his family.

We lost a truly decent person with all the right intentions. If David had made a commitment that suddenly became challenging, he would ask himself, "What's the right thing to do" instead of "How can I get out of this"?

I had referred people to David because I felt that he was as good as he appeared to be, righteous as well as competent. Thank you for all the good you left in your wake. A life well-lived!

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. It speaks to what an exceptional person he was that, in our little, friendly exchanges in the building where we both worked, I came to know and like him a great deal. Always ready with a grin and happy to play a bit with my little dog and shoot the breeze. I will miss him, and can only imagine the magnitude of the loss this must be for his loved ones. You will be in my thoughts.

I'm a therapist who works in the same building as David and am saddened to learn of his sudden passing. Always warm, friendly and quick with a smile. In our lobby, hallway and elevator conversations, he always carried an air of Tikkun Olam, as this beautiful tribute also shares. May his memory bless all who love him most.
