Drew was a dear friend, a true brother. We ran Jessica's Candle together and spoke on the phone for hours. A truly truly good human being I considered like a brother artist.

Drew was a dear friend and mentor for more than 50 years and I will always remember vivid discussions of music and musicians with him and Vicky over some memorable dinners and parties. He was always such a wonderful presence and he never stopped encouraging me to use my talents and to keep creating. I will dearly miss him and send my condolences to Vicky, Myles and Alan.

Damn. Drew was an amazing and unique talent. He excelled at acting and had a real gift for melody. I'll miss our phone conversations - they were far reaching (and sometimes a bit contentious). Though we argued some, we laughed a lot more. He was one of my oldest and dearest friends and I'll really miss him. My condolences to Vicky, Myles and Alan.

The world will be very different without my wonderful friend Drew. He and I met in college when I was 19 and he was 18 and we were frivolous, young, budding actors with so much to talk about and share. There are no words to say how much I will miss him. He was a very precious part of my family and we all are at a loss. I know that he is spreading his wondrous magnificence in heaven with our Lord and all the angels and saints. God bless you, my treasuref friend.

Drew, you lovely man, you will be missed by so many and loved so dearly, and always remembered in our hearts. You and Vicky were such a loving and affectionate couple of 36 years, a feat that few can attain. May God bless you and keep you close til we meet again.
