Sad News for FIRST- passing of Dave Beck, team 103

[BrianT103]

Dave Beck was an incredible mentor, teacher and friend. The first time I walked through the doors of Palisades High School 4 years ago, I knew that I would be in good company with Mr. Beck. Dave was the most influential and inspiring man of my life, and the success of the team is a direct result of this man's hard work and dedication to empowering his students. Over the past days I have come to terms with his death, but I will never forget his legacy and most of all his passion for excellence. Most teachers are willing to stay after school for a couple of hours to help their students, but Mr. Beck is the only teacher that I had that is willing to sacrifice so much time and energy for the betterment of his students(along with mrs. beck and mr. reilly). There were so many things that I wanted to say to him when I graduated, but hopefully he realized just how big of an impact he had on my life. The man is truly irreplaceable.

Here's to an amazing four years, I will miss you dearly.
