I was a humble City Year corps member from Harlem and other parts of New York who dropped out university when I met David in 08-09. He would chat with me in his office, lend me books, meet for brunch, and always give encouragement. I learned a great deal from his honest discourse, me a young black man and him an older white Jewish man who had accomplished a great deal in his life. I was always honest about my perspective and he was never offended or guarded. Over time, like for so many others, David became a friend. Before I went back to university this fall and after I studied abroad in China, David and I spoke in his City Year office about his experience in the Navy and traveling throughout the country while his ship was fixed. I am going to miss our talks and his smile. My condolences and prayers are with his family. David was a good man and true New Yorker who loved to serve his fellow man and women. He believed in seeing people for who they are not for differences in the way that divide us but rather unite us-I will never forget that.

David was president of Concord Fabrics when I began my working career in 1976. Now I;m an executive coach. Just last week I shared with clients that one the wisest person I have ever known is David Caplan. I told a story of how David would write down some of the observations and statements others would share and relay them when appropriate. David made a significant impact on me. May his memory always be a blessing.
