David FROMER Obituary

FROMER, David April 2, 1924-September 6, 2010 Beloved husband of Shirley, and cherished father of Lisa Gelber, Amy Coane, Dori Fromer and Jana Cook. Adoring grandfather of Jett and Wylie Gelber, Max and Cassie Coane, Simon and Emma Frank and Hunter Cook. Father-in-Law to Barry Gelber, James Coane and Harley Frank. David was an infantryman in WW2, earning three Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. His lengthy career in real estate and his entrepreneurial endeavors took him from Los Angeles in the 50's and 60's to Europe and Saudi Arabia in the 70's and then to New York City, his place of birth, in the 80's and 90's. David continued doing the work he loved, in Los Angeles, until his very last days. He was however, first and foremost, a family man. His full life ended four days prior to his 60th wedding anniversary; he was surrounded by his loving family. He will be missed forever by the many who loved and respected him. Visitors will be welcomed at the Fromer home Today through Friday, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. There will be a memorial in New York City.
