Not sure what to say?

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.

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.
