Dave Lee - A tribute

 Just got back from a funeral for a close friend of my family who was killed in the motorbike accident on the freeway last week.  Dave was a great bloke who met my parents nearly 20 years ago on a 4wd camping trip.  He was a great sailor, surfer, musician and environmental scientist, father to Ollie and Jen, son of Rod and Kerry and married to Di, a friend of many.  He will be greatly missed by his amazing family and all his friends and people who knew him. Rest in Peace Dave.

This is a song Dave wrote and played about the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race, he really was an amazingly talented musician.

 Small world. I was there too and was blubbering through the whole thing. What a turnout.

Thanks for posting.

 My neighbour told me about an accident she'd seen on the freeway, bloke on a bike tragically lost his life.

Found our from a work colleague that it was Dave. He'd volunteer his time for coastcare and other environment projects and was very highly regarded.
