Thank you Dad.

A friend told me, "Say not in grief, 'he is no more', but live in thankfulness that he was."

And that i am. For everything you have given me, and all that you have taught me. You will always be remembered and honored. I love you Dad, and will miss you, until we meet again.

Dave Lee was "The man" back in "The day"... I was in total admiration of his business skills and his ability to also relate to me as a relative newbie in the trades...I used to look for his raised eyebrow as we crossed paths during the course of the day...My condolences to his family. He was a special man.

We have only seen Dave occassionally over the last 45 years, but we grew up together in Albany. He was a good guy who hung around with my older brother. We all played darts or pool in our basement family room on weekends and all summer. There were many parties the "stoopers" went to both at Dave's and our house.
