My deepest sympathy to the Taborsky family. I became friends with Dan and Helen in 1971 at our ranch at Birdseye. At the time, I was trying to build a home myself. When I would get to a skill that I had not yet mastered, I found that if I invited Dan and Helen over for coffee and cookies, Dan would teach me how to complete whatever I was working on. We became very good friends and I will always hold that friendship dear in my heart. Dan was a man of his word. Rest in peace my friend. Susan D. DeBree
