I was a law school classmate of Dave's and we worked together on some matters when I lived in Texas. I just learned of his passing from my Law School Magazine. It is very sad. I would like to offer my condolences to his wife and kids if they'd like to e-mail me at [email protected]##imported-begin##Jonathan Bonime##imported-end##
I just wanted to say that the memorial for Dave was beautiful.It was wonderful to hear others speak of him in the same way I always knew Dave to be. He WAS truly respected and loved for just the person he was- sincere,loving,kind,generous and selfless. My heartfelt sympathies are with his family now to heal in this time of great loss.I will miss Dave and our 45 year friendship terribly but I am so glad to have known him and called him "My friend."##imported-begin##Tracey Jordan OConnor##imported-end##
Tom, Gregg, and Jody please accept my condolences and apologies for not attending the memorial as I am currently aboard my ship in the Red Sea. I am very sorry for your loss, and the entire Imken family offers you our deepest sympathy. Growing up our families were always so connected in one way or another and I have many childhood memories of your home on Division Avenue. Your brother David will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.##imported-begin##Bill Imken##imported-end##

I am honored to know David as he was a wonderful attorney and as a friend and brother firefighter. I just spoke to him the other day as he would always be available for any questions and advice. I will miss speaking to him as he would always make me laugh. I will never forget when he called me one day and it was over 100 degrees out and he noticed I was sounding tired as I just returned from fighting a fire and he called me about a business I was buying. He said he would handle everything and to relax as he knew how I felt. The world is at a loss with David’s passing. RIP brother firefighter you will be missed.Our prayers to his family.##imported-begin##Anthony La Manna ##imported-end##
A Service will be held for Dave on Saturday 1/21/2012 at Saint John the Divine Church in HH Corner Terrace & Jefferson at 10:30 AM 201-288-0002, followed by a reception at the Church Hall, ending 3PM. The family suggests that a donation be made to the Church's "Kids on the Corner" recreational program, in lieu of flowers. We are all very deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Dave. On Saturday we will at once mourn the tragic loss of a great friend, as well as celebrate and remember a life well lived by a person who served as an example for us all. Hope to see you there.##imported-begin##James Gagel##imported-end##
David was the quintessential Attorney. My sincerest sympathy to the entire Van Dam family and also to his devoted legal assistant, Estela. I worked with him on many real estate transactions and I will greatly miss his expertise and kind nature. David was one of a kind. God Bless.##imported-begin##Gail Perry Grinkevich##imported-end##

Tom, Greg, Jody, Carmen and children please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. David's passing has profoundly saddened me as well. He was one of my closest high school friends- and a great friend he was. Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the Saturday service to offer my condolences in person. Be certain each of you and David are in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Les Mulligan##imported-end##
