What an incredible tribute. You really get the sense that Drake was genuinely one of those people that was universally loved. None of these tributes come across as forced or PR. It really seems like the cast truly lost an amazing friend.

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

I don't know the airdate.
Here is a bit more of the clip, for anyone who couldn't see Judi's IG video I posted just above this:

I think Adrienne and possibly Justin owned a construction company.  I have no idea why RoJohn would be helping out with all this, but I think 1987 is probably a good place to start by year at the very least.  This is post-marriage and it seems post-Justin/Adrienne moving out and before Victor was shot and before Emilio I believe so it narrows down the time frame a bit.  Late 1987 is where I would place it.

At some angles the home looks a bit like RoJohn/Roman/Marlena's house that was destroyed by Orpheus's bomb, but when John called Adrienne "boss" I assumed it wasn't the same set.

I happen to have the 1988-1990 scene logs typed out for every episode. I just searched scenes listing (Adrienne, Roman) or (Roman, Adrienne) and got a hit on this one, so this looks to be it: 12/21/89

12/21/89 Scene-By-Scene:

Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Hank, Roman)

Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Jack, Victor, Maid Rhonda)

I just looked up that episode and I don't believe that's it.

Same time frame but it appears to be from the 12/08/89 episode as long as the episodes I have are dated/numbered correctly.  It's the opening scene.

I agree because you can see from the twitter clip of the same scene
https://x.com/Joeiscool1981/status/1840730594193408428
-- the clip extends a couple of seconds longer than what's in Judi's IG video.
In the twitter clip, Justin arrives at the end.
Justin is in the @JAS0N47 set list for 12/08/89.

[carolineg]

Yeah.  When I looked at the 12/21 episode John/Adrienne were talking about some keys John had stolen for, Idk, spy reasons?  It did look like they were vaguely testing RoJohn/Adrienne though because John was involved? with Whitney Baker the psychiatrist that looked like Marlena and Isabella was teased with Jack.  

[JAS0N47]

I was close though! Sorry, I missed that in my quick search of the records. I guess I saw a scene with just Roman and Adrienne alone and figured that was it.
