Not sure what to say?

We'll miss you, dear friend! Drew was a tremendous friend and blessing to me and my mom as I struggled to recover from alcoholism and addiction. I loved (and share) his often irreverent and offbeat sense of humor, and will miss our conversations and back and forth "insults" and the like. The world is a little less fun without you, Drew. Be at peace and we'll see you on the other side, at that place of happy destiny!

You and your great smile will be missed. There were many good times early on in sobriety on the path with Bill W. You helped many. RIP

I was blessed having you as a friend

Drew was always a good example and ready to help others. Had not seen him over the last couple years but knew he was out there doing good. Will miss his presence in the fellowship but his memory will live on.
Thanks for being a friend of Bill"s all these years.
He will be greatly missed.

Loved our talks on the back porch when I was on my morning walks. Thanks for keeping the doors open for us that needed it.

Over 50 years of friendship and love Drew was always an older brother to me and a wonderful friend of our family. He was always strong and righteous in his convictions. He would call it as he saw it and never hesitate to tell u so. We grew up in Long Island and our homes were not far apart. We worked on cars together- especially VW ‘s and he had a real talent as a backyard mechanic. He was also an excellent carpenter and there were times I would work with him. Always a Vietnam Veteran he...

You were a dear friend and sponsor for many years. Rest in peace

Love you forever and ever, Drew. Thanks for everything. 3-7-11-OF❤

You are missed rest in peace
