It bears repeating, Drake always told the best stories.
A kind and gentle person, we’d always have a laugh when we were working together, often laughing until my sides hurt.
I remember, back in the 80s, there was a flirtation between “Roman” and Adrienne when we worked together at the construction company, and Drake had to dance around “constructing” in a sweaty tank top to the song “Macho Man”… in Salem… in the winter. He was hilarious and approached it with gusto and happy enthusiasm, as he did everything.
He was a man who took his work seriously, but never himself. He was always game for anything and such a joy to be around. He made the world around him a funnier, better, sweeter place… the light will never be as bright again…
And he was a Yankee! I was a fan from the minute I met him ❤️⚾️

Beautiful Judi. He was an original-no one like him. You’re so right, he took his work seriously, but never himself. Something I will try to carry forward. 🙏💔

“He took his work seriously, but never himself.” So true. Game for anything. Always found the fun in everything. The joy. 🩷

This shows the irripressable joy that our dear friend brought to his work every, single day. No doubt he spent a long time perfecting the hammer routine. Thank you for this, Judi
