I was saddened to hear of David's passing. David was a friend through the Baking Circle. His sense of humor was very enjoyable, and his knowledge of baking was helpful. I feel lucky to have known him. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

David was a friend of mine through the Baking Circle, one of the voices that kept drawing me back to my bread even after the worst of bread-brick disasters. He will be dearly missed, and I offers my deepest sympathy to James and to all of his family.
May the Goddess bless and safely keep David, and us all. Blessed Be.

My dear KAF Baking Circle friend,
Thanks for all the laughs you have given me on the circle. I will forever remember you each time I make your divine chocolate waffles! God bless your southern soul.

My deepest sympathy to James and to all of David's family. I've known David for over 14 years. And to his Baking friends, when it came to cooking, there was nothing David couldn't do that I knew of. David also knew the "how to" for cooking outside "Camping Style". David was such a wonderful person and all of us at PwC were so blessed to have worked with such a truly amazingly talented individual and to have had him in our lives. David was always "up". I never saw David down, not even when he got sick. He stayed positive and always had a smile on his face. I can still hear him laughing. I will miss you, David. May our memories of David keep a smile in all our hearts until we see him again. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this most difficult time. May God Bless each of you and keep you strong. With Love and Deep Sadness, Your Friend Always

Like many, I came to know David on the Baking Circle. David's caring helpful nature and strength amazed me daily with all he was going through. I learned so much from David and having many health issues myself I gained great strength from David's love of life. Somehow he made even my worst days feel better when he himself was enduring worse. For those who are reading this and wonder what is this "Baking Circle"... I will tell you that it is a huge family of the most talented, giving and loving people I've ever come to know. It started out to be a place to learn about baking, but thanks to David and many others it has become so much more. I know David will be watching over us and he will live on in the many lives he touched.
My deepest sympathies to James, David's family and the many people who came to love this sweet man. I can still feel his warm smile and hear that southern charm that we all came to love. God has taken David home where he will suffer no more.

My deepest sympathy to all of David's family and friends -- his spirit will be sorely missed. I've used many of his wonderful recipes for parties and day-to-day family gatherings. He kept us all entertained with his jokes eliciting either laughs or groans (or sometimes both!). He was an amazing vital force on the Baking Circle and will never be forgotten.

Dear David: I just sent my magic flying wheelchair up to you. It's carrying Grane, my latest 10 pound block of chocolate and a gift certificate to the KA store in the sky for all the gadgets and goodies you'd like. A computer so you can join the heavenly KA Circle and help all the angels learn how to make proper biscuits. If you'd like, send the chair back down and I will try to get Tim Foley's awesome hearth oven on it to send up. Just let it rain bread on us down here sometimes. I pray that your family can have the strength to learn how to go on without you and I will try not to feel so sad when there's no Teddygram in my mailbox anymore. I will miss you, big guy. Peace be with you and I will be seeing you soon. Love, :PBud

As another member of the King Arthur Baking Circle, I send my condolences to all of David's family.
David will continue to be with all of us, visiting in our kitchens, offering assistence when necessary. David's generosity and help came to us on the Circle in many ways: His wonderful recipes, his willingness to offer tips on methods and techniques of food preparation, his constant contributions of wit and humor which were so appreciated, and on a personal level, his assurances to me that "more" is fine when explaining the "how to" for one recipe or another. I was concerned about wordiness and "over-kill" when giving directions early on; David assured me that it was fine, advising me to check out his own very thorough recipe directions.
We will all miss you, David.

David's wit, and willingness to share, and teach, as a member of the King Arthur online group, will be valued forever, along with what I always considered to be his truest gift, his gentlemanly conduct.
My most sincere sympathies to his family, and close friends...may his soul shine on, as it did for all of us.

As another friend of David's through the Baking Circle, I can only marvel at how he touched so many lives without ever having met most of us. He shared a lot of himself with us on the Circle, and he will not be forgotten. Few people could have faced what he went through with such strength, grace, and humor. My heartfelt best wishes to James and the rest of David's family. Peace....

The world has lost a very special man. David always was so uplifting in his posts at the BC. Whether he was sharing baking tips or really bad jokes, he was bigger than life. He will be missed. My condolences to all who loved him. ClaireO BC Member

For those who loved & knew David personally, the final lines of the poem, "It was beginning winter" by Theodore Roethke.
"A lively understandable spirit
Once entertained you.
It will come again.
Be still.
Wait."

Although I never met David "in person" I think of him as a friend. We met on the KAF Baking Circle and his kindness, thoughtfulness, great sense of humor and really bad jokes brightened many of my days. My thoughts and prayers are with James and the rest of David's family. He will be sorely missed by all of us.

David will be dearly missed by many who knew him and loved him on the King Arthur Circle. New members I'm sure will be bombarded with what a wonderful man he was. People have been so amazed this week that I have been mourning a dear friend I have never met!!! May God's peace go to David's family and loved ones and just remember heaven is a happy place to have him and we are so blessed to have known him even for a short tim.

I too met David through the Baking Circle and will miss his words of joy, passion, and wisdom. When I make one of his numerous recipes he shared on the Circle I will remember him and how he enriched our lives. He lives on in all of our hearts.

David was such a valued member of the KA Baking Circle. He was so generous with his recipes and his time developing the FAQs. He shared his knowledge, baking and otherwise, so freely and will be sorely missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to James, and to David's family and friends. It is comforting to know that he is now at peace.

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of David Lee. Through the Baking Circle he taught us so many important lessons, and many of them were not about actual baking. A very wise and special man who will be greatly missed.

I am another of the Baking Circle members who will dearly miss David, his humor, his knowledge (that he so freely shared), and most of all his courage. Even though I only "spoke" to him online, I feel as though I've lost a very special friend.
My deepest condolences to James and to David's family. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

David, David! I knew you for such a short time. You solved my breadbaking problem that I had for 40 years. You solved it in seconds. You took your valuable time that you had so little of to help me. I will miss you as will everyone who has ever known you and your generous ways - even with folks like me - whom you didn't know. Rest in peace mi amigo, and be assured, you will NEVER be forgotten. You are a legacy in the KAF and Bakers Circle. The Lord is preparing a table for you in His house. May God bless you and strenghten all those who suffer your loss.

It was a privilege to know David and an honor to call him my friend. As one of the Baking Circle members, I was lucky to have known him for real. Thanks to him, I can now make good biscuits instead of hockey pucks. David was always there for anyone with a question or problem no matter what he was going through himself at the time. He also posted the best (worst, actually!) jokes. I will love him and keep him with me always. He will never be forgotten.

This is a message of heartfelt condolence to all the members of the Lee family and James and his family. I had the wonderful privilege of knowing David through the KAF Baker's Circle Forum. His generosity and kindness to all its members knew no bounds. He taught all of us the true meaning of giving and selflessness with no expectations. Also that our quest for knowledge in baking and in life would only be limited by ourselves ...He will always be remembered as someone who truly made a difference in many people's lives ! He made a difference in my personal life concerning my own medical troubles.. I think he knew more than some of the drs...He will forever be missed and celebrated for showing us all the way . He was one of the Lord's true messengers....I'll bet the biscuits are tasting better up there already... God Bless you David .....your buddy Grizz

I would like the family of David to know that he had so many friends he never met. There are hundreds of us on the "baking circle" who are mourning his passing, but relieved that his pain and suffering have ended. Heaven has a new angel.

David has been a wonderful, wonderful cyber-cooking-friend on the King Arthur Web-site. I thank him for all of his inspiration about life and his ability to pass on his thrill of it to me. My life is richer for reading his messages and recipes. - Judy
