I worked as a Secretary for Len Milberg and Joe Golden in the early 80´s. Both treated me very kindly. Fond memories of MFI drove me to a google search and I stumbled upon the impressive history and then this unexpected and heartbreaking obituary. I wanted to extend my most sincere condolences to the entire Milberg family. My prayers are with you all.
Sincerely, Donna Joannou-Kunzig

I met David in the early eighties when he became my brother's housemate in Park Slope. Three nice Jewish boys sharing an apartment in our twenties at the onset of our adult lives, I'll always remember the good times we had just sitting around the house or going out and about in the neighborhood and the city. David eventually got his own place but came back for a party my brother and I gave. It was a great party and I prevailed upon David to hang around after everyone left to shoot the breeze and help us straighten up. The friends who stay around when the party is over, that's what you'll treasure most. RIP Davey.

David was a friend at Princeton and in New York. He came to my orchestra concerts and I heard him sing with Amor Artis. We enjoyed numerous shows and dinners. He was such a kind, gentle, generous and good natured person. I am deeply saddened and will miss him greatly. My deepest condolences to his family.
