    This is a terrible loss for all.
    David was a kind, thoughtful and gratious gentleman.
    I had the privilege of helping his first campaign for State Representative in 1969 (?) and was enriched by the experience in my youth and blessed by the good luck to have David as a neighbor as an adult.
    David was a mensch and a noble soul.

    David Mofenson was a highly respected attorney and public servant as well as a friend and frequent lunch companion. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

    Some of the words that struck me at David Mofenson’s memorial service today: Justice, compassion, empathy, history, baseball, baseball history, loyalty, a gentle giant, a Renaissance man — proud of and devoted to four generations of his family. He will be missed by so many, yet will live on.
