I am so sorry to hear of Lee's passing. He was a wonderful teacher and a man of deep faith and wisdom. It was my great honor to be the principal at Glen View School in Escondido during the time he taught there. I always appreciated his quiet encouragement and love. May god bless his family during this time of sadness. Ron Brumley

I had the privilege of having Mr. Daub as my teacher at Glen View Elementary School in Escondido for fourth and fifth grade. Years later, I ran into Mr. Daub several times as an adult in church, he still recognized me and still knew me by name. Mr. Daub was a special man who lived out his faith in Christ. I can hear Jesus telling him, â€œwell done my good and faithful servantâ€�.

Daub Family,

Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Lee and Jean while they resided in Temecula. We have fond memories of attending church together, sharing meals, picking them up each week for our home for bible study, and talking about gardening! Jean was a gentle spirit and Lee was the quintessential gentleman! We are thrilled that they are together again in the presence of Jesus!

He was my fourth grade teacher and a wonderful one at that. He was one of the best I ever had. I've thought about him over the years and am happy to see he lived a long life. He will be missed!
