“My late uncle, Doug Muir, a photographer and Syracuse native, will be celebrated for a body of work that spanned decades.

“He was deeply influenced by his upbringing on Syracuse’s Southside. He lived in California, traveled the country and the world, but his heart was never far from home. 

“Doug Muir - Coming Home - opens at the Everson May 20. I’ll post some of his work in the coming days.”

His co-stars sent their support including his good friend Kelly Ripa who promptly liked the post.

Most recently, the ABC journalist made sure to show his support for Kelly following a milestone moment on her talk show, Live. 

On Monday, Kelly was joined for the first time by her new co-host and husband Mark Consuelos, following Ryan Seacrest's departure on Friday. 

After sharing BTS clips on social media from the first day on set with Mark, David penned: "Most beautiful of full circles. Congratulations." 

David has a close bond with not only Kelly, but her entire family.
