David was most proud of his children and grandchildren, who brought immense joy and meaning to his life.

He began his career at Kaplan Furniture, the family business, and later co-founded Kaplan and Fox in Boston, extending the family's longstanding tradition in the furniture world. David served passionately on numerous furniture industry boards, and most importantly at Boston Children’s Hospital. Belmont Country Club was a meaningful part of his social life, where he remained a lifelong and devoted member. His love of travel took him around the globe, where he enjoyed great food, time with family and friends, new cultures, and rounds of golf in memorable places. David will be deeply missed by his loving family and the many friends whose lives he touched.
