As a police officer at Ball State University, I was priveleged to meet and get to know Leonard during the years he was assistant coach for the Cardinals. I grew to not only appreciate him but formed a great friendship with him. I was greatly saddened to hear of his
untimely passing and extend my prayers and sympathy for his family.

I went to school with Leonard and was very sad to hear of his passing. I know he is in a better place, but also remember all the things he accomplished in life. He was a great husband and father. He was also a great coach, teacher and friend to all. I was proud to hear of his accomplishments and the tremendous life he led. He will truly be missed by many. God Bless!

I knew Coach Drake throughout my high school and college career. He was the first coach to take a chance and believe in my ability to play the game of basketball. He was a great coach and person. My prayers are with his family. Coach you will always be in my heart. Thank you for believing. You'll never be forgotten.

Rhonda,
I thought about you and Coach Drake a few weeks ago and wondered how you were doing. It's been a long time since we've spoken....BSU days.
I got the call this morning from Derrick Wesley regarding Coach. I am truly sorry and please know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

my father was the team physician for CMU when lenny played there and we went to all the games. i'll never forget him taking a charge against bowling green, then sinking a one-in-one with a second on the clock to win by one. to this day, my two brothers and i still mimic his free throw--with the hesitation! he provided my family with wonderful memories. may you all feel the Lord's blessings during your time of grieving. grace and peace to you all!
