Re: Sad News for FIRST- passing of Dave Beck, team 103
I am in complete shock. Hearing this news is like being hit by a freight train. I'd like to pass my most heartfelt condolences to the Beck family. The passing of Dave Beck sends a ripple through our entire community. I first met Dave Beck back in 2002 at the UTC regional. I competed every year of high school and several times since leaving high school, with Cybersonics. One of the most striking things was the affection his students showed him. The love that was shown for him is absolutely incredible. He led with grace, integrity and passion. He was always there to lend a helping hand and exchange ideas. He was also a visionary with a mind to the future of how to evolve the program as a whole. There are very few mentors who do what he did for our community. I feel truly privileged to have known him for these short few years. There are not enough good words that can be said about him nor sorrowful ones at that news of his passing. It is a deep cut to lose such an amazing man as Dave Beck. May peace be with you now Mr. Beck.
