I knew David as "Baby David" back in the 1970's and 80's, growing up in Fort Lee with Bobby, Greg, and David. How can it be, only 39 years old? I am deeply shocked and sorry and wish to express my condolences to all the Family; Mr. and Mrs. Van Dyck, Bob, Greg, Sonia, ....
David faught so hard...as his parents said a few weeks ago, "He just needed one more miracle..."

I am deeply saddened to be writing this. Dave and I worked together at CNBC from 1994 through 1997. When I first started at the station, I was young and just out of college. Dave was always very supportive of me as I learned new tasks in the world of technical TV, and he always went of his way to make me feel comfortable as I performed my new duties on live TV (I was quite nervous when I first started). We would often joke together before, after, and during live TV broadcasts. Dave was a charismatic, positive, kind human being, and he was a lot of fun to be around. Since Dave and I both grew up in Fort Lee (he graduated Fort Lee High School three years before me), we’d often share common experiences and laugh. Dave and I would also share our dating fiascoes and successes with each other… We used to jokingly call each other by initials (I’d call him DVD, and he’d call me CT). Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sonia and the entire Van Dyck Family,
I am so very sorry for your lose. Dave was a great friend and a wonderful, fun guy... I know he will be terribly missed.

Sonia,
I can't believe what I'm writing. I knew Dave and you from CNBC. I heard about Dave's passing early this morning. I am so very saddened by this news. I had no idea he was sick. I just can't believe it. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your child, and everyone that knew and loved Dave. We will miss him. He was a shining light. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
