David was my "boss". I was 22 - just out of college - and thrilled to be working for Senator Kennedy. I was a kid - but he always treated me with respect, kindness - and a bit of humor. A wonderful decent person. I am honored to have known him

David was a great human being, a faithful friend and a political expert.
He was in many ways responsible for Governor Carey's success in saving New York City from bankruptcy.
My sincere condolences to the family.

My most heartfelt condolences to you Trixie, and to the Burke family. David was a most remarkable man. He was compassionate, moral and decent. He was extremely wise and deeply intelligent. He thoughtfully counseled political and business leaders, as well as day-to-day journalists. He thought big. He encouraged people to reach for the stars. He was a strong and steady leader. He was committed to the best in journalism. I deeply admired David, and he had an enormous impact on my life. I am most grateful to him, and I am honored to have served by his side.
