Re: Sad News for FIRST- passing of Dave Beck, team 103
First I would like to thank everyone who has shown their sympathy towards the Beck family, and team 103.
Dave Beck, has shaped who I am today from the timid 9th grader I was when I joined team 103 to being the current president and head animator for the 2008-2009 season.
By bringing the FIRST program into Palisades School District he has help to influence hundreds of student in what we can all agree is the "right" direction.
One of the speeches that Mr. Beck gave every year or just this past year started: "Being apart of this group you are the students who get "it"..." What "it" is I think we can all see in who Dave was, a Father, Teacher, Mentor, and Friend. He truly help to spread Dean's vision of what FIRST should be and where it should lead students in today's society.
For me he will never be forgotten because he has made me the leader I am today through the FIRST program.
to end my deepest condolences go to Cathy, and Cassie Beck
