VERY SORRY HEAR ABOUT LEE

We were shocked and saddened by Lee's passing. We last saw him on July 4th when we was full of life. Telling stories and joking around. This is how we will remember Lee

Dad-Here is a poem that I found and I was going to give it to you but I didn't have time. The poem is by Audrey Jeanne Roberts @ 1998 .



Walk with me, Daddy



Please hold my hand.

The world's rushing by me so busy..so planned..

Would you walk with me slowly

at the end of the day ?

I love when you're with me

And take time to play .

I need you to hold me

When I'm afraid in the night

I need you to teach me what's wrong and what's right.

I'm watching you Daddy

All you do and you say

And I'm SO PROUD OF YOU DADDY .

I want to be just the same way !

I love you so much Daddy

I'm your biggest little fan

I know you love me too, Daddy...

Can you please hold my hand ?

Tom my husband said what a great man my father was and it is going to be very hard for any of us to live up to what he has done. I miss him greatly and know his family and friends do too. My father was a great man . I am VERY PROUD to say Lee A Tabaka is my father and I have felt that way my whole life . My son Sean, Dad's pride and joy has a lot of my father in him :) My father's morales and values will go on for many years to come . I would like to say it was a Honor being Lee's daughter . I just wish he could have been there for Delane this coming year . Thank you GOD for giving me a great Father and Mother ! I love you Delane,Jason, Tom,Sean,Mom,Busia,Auntie Florence and Aunt Dianne.

Busha and Family:

Would like to express my Heartfelt Sympathies and Deepest Condolences for the loss of Lee. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Busha and Family:

My deepest condolences & heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I knew Lee when I was a young girl. My memories of Lee include seeing him in his police uniform, the back of the police paddy wagon, and hand cuffs that he carried. That's probably why I have such an interest in law enforcement.

Dear Tabaka Family,

My sincere condolences. I have many fond memories of Lee and my late husband (Bob Watts) working together.

im sorry to hear of loss.my family and I will keep lee in our prayers.

To the family of Lee Tabaka my sincerest condolences on Lee's passing. I remember Lee well from when I visited him with Florence and Warren Meyers and seeing him at O'Hare Airport. He was a good and jovial guy,lighthearted, and geniune. He will be missed

We both worked midnights with Lee at the Airport. He was a great guy, always with the jokes. He will be remembered with foundness.

We love you, we miss you. Warren, Esther and Sam

Lee you will be really missed.

Like you once told me as a kid, "Wherever you go, wherever you are, you're there!"

He was a great friend who will be truly missed. My heart goes out to the family. I know he loved you all.

Sadly we did not get a chance to meet Lee. We had been looking forward to meeting him before Delane and Jason's wedding. Our thoughts and prayers are with Delane and her entire family.

(Jason's Parents)

To Jeri, Dannielle and DeLaine, My thoughts are with you all. May you be blessed with peace. Judy

Lee was a great man,he also had a heart of gold and full of joy.

He always made us laugh or amazed us with a trick or two.

We will miss him very much.

Thanks for being in our lives and making us smile.

We are saddened to learn of Lee's passing. We worked with him at O'hare.We will always remember his wonderful sense of humor. Our sincere condolences.

Dianne, my heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your dear brother.
