Not sure what to say?

I miss Dave around this time and on his birthday which is 3 days earlier than mine. Having gone to high school and college with him I have very fond memories. My thoughts are with Karen ,the boys and his entire family.

I knew Dave since freshman year I high school and lived with him in college I miss him especially because of his brilliant mind and personality hope all is well with Karen and the boys

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I was in David's High School class and a member of the Waukegan Tamburitzans and played in the orchestra with Dave. His smile was infectious and he always laughed and made me smile. I am not at all surprised by his great successes but am deeply saddened by his early passing. I hope your best memories keep him close in heart at this very difficult time.

Hi Karen
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew David for many years. He has helped me so much through the year professionally and with advise, I know that I will miss him.

Hi Karen and family sorry I have not signed this earlier.i. Received word of June 3 will try to make it. My thoughts and prayers are with you.Dave and I go so far back I am so glad I got to see him in Chicago in Jan 2017. Dave was a genius and I recognized that early in his life. I will miss him very much.

Dave, I used to joke that I pulled you through law school, when in fact you pulled me through law school with your indefatigable spirit, sense of humor, and smile. We sure shared some good times! I hope you have yourself a great view of Wrigley Field.

Sincerest and deepest condolences from our family to yours. It was always a pleasure to cross paths with David, whether in court or on a basketball court. His constant smile and wit always brightened the occasion. He is missed as a friend and fellow courthouse traveler.

One year ago, Dave helped me through one of the most difficult transitions of my life. It was only through his expertise, sage advice and support that I was able to escape (what seemed like) an impossible work environment. I am eternally grateful for his willingness to help me (an acquaintance) free of charge and on his own time. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. My deepest condolences to the VanDyke family.

Simply put, Uncle Dave was a wonderful human being. I will always remember him as the silly, generous, and intelligent man he was. I will smile anytime I think of "Camp Rules" or him telling me stories of my mom as a teenager. I feel lucky to have had him as an Uncle.

Karen- my uncle loved you so much. He shared with me the story of you two first meeting this past summer. Your relationship was always one I looked up to. When Tristan and I got married, we talked about relationships we...
