DAVID ERDOS Obituary

ERDOS--David C. David C. Erdos, of Harvard, MA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on August 16, 2022, following a courageous battle with NUT-carcinoma. Born in 1944 in Brooklyn, NY, David was the son of the late Eugene Joseph Erdos and Miriam (Anshine) Erdos and younger brother of Michael S. Erdos, of New York, NY. David attended Midwood High School in Brooklyn, graduated from Brooklyn College and received his M.B.A. from Columbia Business School. Upon graduation from Columbia, David joined the Exxon Corporation in finance. While employed by Exxon, David attended St. John's Law School. After receiving his law degree, David was appointed counsel for Exxon Office Systems. In the late 1980's, David opened a law office in Stamford, CT, where he practiced for decades. Admitted to the bars of Connecticut, New York, Florida and the United States Supreme Court, David was highly regarded as a preeminent attorney, trusted colleague and mentor, and respected adversary. David is survived by his beloved wife, Pamela A. Erdos, of Harvard, adored daughters, Emily C. Erdos and Katie A. Erdos, both of New York, NY, his brother, Dr. Michael (Caryl) Erdos, nephews and nieces Jason (Kiyomi) Erdos, Jillian (Joseph Lipchitz) Erdos, Alexander Erdos, Elleree Erdos, their children and many cousins, friends, colleagues and clients. David will be remembered as a true gentleman, beloved husband and father, devoted son and son-in-law, faithful brother, uncle and cousin, gifted attorney, thoughtful advocate, and a fiercely loyal and generous friend who brought kindness and humor to all who knew him. A memorial celebration will take place on Sunday, October 16 in Harvard, MA. Donations may be made to the Cancer Research & Treatment Fund, Inc., 500 East 77th Street, Suite 1001, New York, NY 10162.
