David LAUB Obituary
Age 84, of Buffalo, NY, passed away peacefully on the morning of August 15, 2022. David was born to Raymond and Margaret Craig Laub on July 28, 1938. After attending Nichols High School (1956), David graduated from Brown University (1960), and the University at Buffalo School of Law (1965). He went on to practice Civil Law in Buffalo for over 50 years. The terms 'one of a kind' and 'larger than life' get thrown around too much, but those perfectly described David and his persona. David was known for his "Hey Tiger" greeting which sometimes meant he did not remember your name. His athletic career was something to behold as he played soccer, hockey and baseball at Nichols School where he was inducted into their Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001. All three of his children played lacrosse in high school and college, and David swears to the end that he would have excelled in that sport too if it was offered back in his day, After Nichols, David was on the vaunted 'Nichols line' on the Brown University hockey team. He went on to coach his sons in hockey for many years in the Shamrock organization, could be found playing Old Timer hockey up and down the QEW well into his 50's, and loved to cheer on the Nichols hockey squad long after his children had graduated. Things he loved: his siblings, Albert, Patricia, Richard, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, "his" NY Yankees, the Buffalo News morning paper, golfing, horseback riding, being a proud parent in the stands watching his kids play sports, and giving unsolicited commentary afterwards. David will be remembered for the grand stories he told, the smiles and laughter he elicited, and his children who loved him dearly. David is survived by his brother, Richard Laub; three children, David (Jocelyn) Laub Jr., Derek (Michelle) Laub, and Alexa (Chris) Gibson; and his six grandchildren, Dylan, Elle, Creighton, Tyler, Kennedy, and Hayden. A family celebration will be held at a later date. Arrangements by LOMBARDO FUNERAL HOME (Northtowns Chapel).

We loved playing golf and lunches after at CCB. We all laughed when he would lose at dice and have to buy the table lunch. He didn´t.

For 43 years I went on a golf trip with "the Barons" (David was one) where we travelled the world. He was one of a kind, always having an opinion about everything and instilling laughter to our experience. He was a distant but good friend and I treasure our memories together.

David always greeted us with a smile. He had a verve for life. His energy was palpable. He lived life to its fullest, and at the end of the game, in the spirit of his athletic prowess, he slid into home plate....
