David Horwitz
David Horwitz, 88, of Cedar Knolls died Sept. 23, 2015. He was formerly of Hillside.
Mr. Horwitz, who was the subject of a New Jersey Jewish News article in 2006 for being the oldest Fairleigh Dickinson University graduate at the time, retired after 24 years in office furniture sales with Max Blau in 1998.

He is survived by his wife, Phyllis; two sons, Ken (Sheri) of Randolph and Alan (Barbara) of Montclair; his daughter, Ellen Rose of Millburn; and five grandchildren.
