David Vigdor Chazan
My sincere condolences to the family! David and I worked together at the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery for 25 years. What can I say ? I loved him like a brother. He is one of the best people I have ever known. I missed him since he left the board and I am fortunate to have known him. May his memory be a blessing.

I always enjoyed being with David and playing golf with him. Many great memories of playing with him, Ross Elkin, and Lee Pollan. He was always up and energetic and had a great sense of humor. His love of Yiddishkeit was insatiable and we used to do alot of singing together in shul. May his family and friends be comforted by Hashem along with the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem

We were very sorry to learn of Dr. Chazan’s passing. He was a dear friend of our late father, Edward Fischman, and we remember him fondly from the many trips they shared to podiatry conventions and seminars over the years. Dr. Chazan was always kind, quick-witted, and fun to be around. His friendship meant a great deal to our father and those memories have stayed with our family. May his memory be a blessing, and may you find comfort in the many lives he touched.
