DAVID SINGER

SINGER, DAVID, 80, of Miami, FL, passed away peacefully June 6, 2012. He was the beloved husband of Dianne with whom he shared 52 years of marriage. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. he was the son of Benjamin and Claire Singer. David relocated his family to Miami in 1969 to join Ryder System, retiring after 27 years as Director of Credit & Collection. An avid tennis player and a gentle soul, David devoted his time to his family and many charitable organizations. He served as a founding board member of DFYIT (Drug Free Youth In Town) and volunteered at Temple Judea in Coral Gables among other organizations. A family man at heart, his wife, children and grandchildren were the center of his life. David was cherished by not only his immediate family but also by nieces, nephews, family and friends. He was the quintessential patriarch who was always true to his word and could be counted on for wise counsel with issues big and small. His life was a blessing and he will be sorely missed by every life he touched. In addition to his wife Dianne, David is survived by his children Susan (Scott) Silver, Dr. Steven (Laurie) Singer; grandchildren Jeremy (Amanda) Silver, Jillian Silver, Alison and Andrew Singer and beloved nieces and nephews. The family is grateful for the loving and compassionate care that David received these past three years at the Chalet at Old Cutler.
