To the family, many, many friends, and colleagues of this wonderful man Mr. David Dinkins fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. We will miss Mr. David Dinkins's presence and his many contributions as the first black mayor of New York City. May the love and the special memory you shared with your dad show how your life was touched by him. We hope many of the encouraging words and thoughts on this site comforts you during this difficult time also. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. So, treasure that memory. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. David Dinkins.

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. He was way too classy for NYC politics; the consummate gentlemen from the gang of 4 - however he loved us anyway. I am forever blessed by his encouragement and leadership example. I worked on technology projects and recall that he was on his way to Edgecombe to visit the facility to see what we had done to improve the reading and math levels of recidivists. Well, along the way, a woman had been struck by a car and Uncle Dave got out of his security vehicle to put his jacket under her head and wait for the ambulance with her. He was brilliant and when he didn't know a subject he surrounded himself with loyal people who were actually intelligent. Most importantly, he was a mayor for the people, not just black people. His integrity and core values are an attainable goal and I pray that the void his passing leaves is filled with wonderful memories. May his legacy live on forever.

What an incredible legacy he leaves behind. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult time.

SHALOM , TO ONE OF THE GREATEST MAYOR'S OF NEW YORK CITY EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT , MORE IMPORTANTLY HAPPY , HOLIDAYS TO YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BROTHER # 75 & #16 PSALMS 23:01-23:80 ........... PETER 22:01-22:02:22 ............ & COLOSSIANS 1:01-1:29 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

To The Dinkins Family: I want to offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of a dignified man who will
be greatly missed by his constituents . He served our city as mayor with style and grace and we will never forget him. May he rest in peace in heaven with his beloved wife joyce , jesus and mary the mother of god.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

As a young lady I went to interview Mr Dinkins at a function but when he walked im with his entourage I was so in awe of this man and struck by his commanding presence when he walked into the room all I could do was stare at him.This followed years of me loving him from afar and being so upset when he lost the election to Gulliani.Mr Dinkins was in that illustrious category with the likes of Ruby Dee and Ozzie Davis people I loved from afar.I am so happy we had him for so long and I know he is now resting in peace. WHAT A GREAT LIFE!!!YOU WILL BE MISSED.My condolences to the Dinkins family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Thoughts and prayers to the Dinkins family, truly sorry for your loss.

GOD bless you Mayor Dinkins. Rest in Peace.

May God comfort the family, friends

I am deeply grateful to The Honorable David N. Dinkins, Senior for his wise counsel on many occasions. Our relationship continued over the years to be warm, brotherly, fatherly, and most constructive. He always gave of himself with brotherly devotion. This day, I mourn the loss of one of the great champions of New York City.

As a born n raised New Yorker. I would like to give my condolences to his family. I lived during his time as mayor of New York. God Bless

Our heartfelt condolences for your loss. It’s still painful to lose a loved one no matter their age. May our Heavenly Father, the God of comfort and tender mercies hold you all close during these sad times. In sympathy

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

On two occasions, I have the incomparable pleasure of interacting with Mayor Dinkins. At the wake for Ms. Alberta Spruill, we chatted briefly because I was wearing a US OPEN windbreaker. 'Nuff said. The second occasion occurred while driving for the US OPEN and the Mayor was my passenger. There is no need to describe the way he was impeccably dressed and superlatively comported. I was in such awe I almost stepped well beyond the boundary line to invite myself to his home! What a pleasure to be in his company. My deepest condolences are sent to his family. How blessed are you to claim such a rich and inspiring legacy. May the peace that passes all understanding surround you now and always.

So sorry for this devastating loss. May mercy, peace and love be increased to you and your family.

Dear family members;

I am truly sorry to hear about mr Dinkins death. A life of service is the best life. He lived his life in service to others.

Thank you for sharing him with the world!

987 KissFM remembers Mayor Dinkins

During his reign i was homeless due to Domestic Violence. The Director of the shelter Verona Middleton Jeter started a Self Help Program and during the training of the staff Honerable David Dinkins came and spoke with us about the politics of NYC. He encouraged us and complimented us for not giving up and standing up for our rights we were four women of color. SHIRLEY, IVETTE, PATRICIA, & THEATHER. WE appreciate what you did and said to us we will hold you in our hearts forever.

Mayor Dinkins wrote me a lovely letter in response to mine I offered a suggestion to help with a problem he had in the city. I kept the letter because I know he wrote it himself but more because of the way his words touched my heart. I know he is an angel now, but he was such a gentleman and his words mean even more to me now. Rest in Peace, Mr. Mayor. You are in good company now. Bernice Lock, Iselin, NJ

Semper Fi Marine Rip

Thank you Mayor Dinkins. You may have been born in New Jersey, but you will always be remembered as a true blue New Yorker. Rest in peace.

A wonderful and strong man. May the God of love and tender mercies comfort and strengthen the family in this difficult time

I once worked in the administration of Mayor Dinkins for the NYC health department. He also was a member of the Marine Corps and our last encounter was at the awarding of the US Congressional Gold medal, Washington DC 2012 we sat next to one another at the honoring ceremonies. The nation should thank him greatly for his service in the Marine Corps and to New York City betterment. As William Shakespeare once said, we will not see his kind again. But we can all learn from his example

To the family,

I wanted to extend my condolences for your loss. Please know that God is a true source of comfort and strength and he will heal the broken hearted. (Ps. 147:3) Cherish the wonderful memories!

President David Dinkins and Mayor of New York City. I worked for his administration and the health department. I also encountered him during the awarding of the United States Congressional Gold medal (bronze replica), a family relative of ours was posthumously awarded the medal and Mayor Dinkins and I sat next to one another during the ceremonies in Washington DC. He served the nation and was a person to be admired. We last spoke a year ago and I had tried to contact him on the loss of his wife.

Please accept my deepest sympathies, he was such a great man of integrity. I remember voting for him, it meant so much seeing someone who looked like me. May memories of him comfort you during your time of loss.

Well done, Mr. Mayor. Well done! Take your much deserved rest. May God be pleased with your good and faithful service. Rest peacefully beside your beloved bride, Lady Joyce. Prayers and love to The Dinkins Family.
