Thank you for sharing him with us - It seems inadequate, however, thank you is all the English language has to express gratitude. I was one of the last 14 employees that the Honorable David Dinkins hired for the NYC Dept of Probation during his term as mayor.

My deepest condolences with prayers. I met David N. Dinkins at his home on Riverside Drive, because my father lived in the same building. I have many great memories. Later I helped with his election as a single young Mother. He was a proud African American Black man of style. I'm trying to get all of my pictures together now & Joyce Dinkins was my father friend too. I thank their Spirit & Contributions. I will miss him! Brother David & Sister Joyce together again with God. Love All The Way...
