  Born on June 7, 1947 in Auburn, New York, he was a lifelong resident who graduated from Auburn East High School in 1965, Syracuse University in 1969, and Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1972.  He was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1973 thereafter practicing family and criminal law in Auburn.  David was once described as an “eccentric and highly effective criminal defence attorney throughout the 1980s.  He was well known for his  self-confidence, both in the courtroom and in his dealings with prosecutors.  He was an energetic bulldog of an attorney . . ."

   David is survived by his daughter Leah Michelle Niepold (Frank, III), grandsons Lucas Martin Niepold and Henry Key Niepold, of Brookeville, Maryland, and his sister Miriam Joy Malmed (Richard) of Severance, New York. In 1970 he married Lydia Claire Rappolt; they divorced in 2001.

   He was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Dora Weinstein. 

   A private burial and service will be held in Fort Hill Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
