My deepest sympathy to family and friends. Drew (Skip) and I grew up on Nassau St. in Pikesville. We had many adventures with all the other kids in our nieghborhood, from riding bikes all over town to playing Army in the woods at Sudbrook. We lost touch after high school, as did a lot of kids. He was a good friend, and since I still live in the same house on Nassau st. the child hood memories are ever present. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
