Cornstein Family: My wife Trish and I are deeply saddened by the news of David´s passing. I will always remember him for the great kindness and support he gave me while I served as his deputy in Budapest and in the years since. He made a great contribution to the US relationship with Hungary. May his memory be a blessing. If I can ever be of any help to your family, it would be my honor to do whatever I could for David´s family. With respect and condolences. Dave Kostelancik
