Robert F. Drake

Dear Billy, Linda, Roselyn, Gabrielle and all beloved family members,

Certain people in our lives have the unknowing responsibility of defining the lives of others. My childhood neighbors and best buds, Bobby and Billy Drake, played such a role in my life. Just the greatest situation for a kid growing up. When I had a fight with one, I hung out with the other. When all 3 of us hung out, I usually went home early, as there would no doubt be an all out brawl between them. What...

To Roselyn, Gabrielle and the rest of the family of Bob Drake:

I realize now why Bob was always late. It was because he had time for people, even if he didn't. He would take time to help people with problems and issues and the clock wasn't all that important when he did.
Bob was a credit to his profession, a bright light to all that he came in contact with. He was always able to cheer up anyone with his wit and amusing view of the world that was so refreshing you just couldn't be...

Bob,
I thank you for all your smiles and laughter. You are a great friend! The world is not as bright with you gone. Rest in peace!
Much love.

Bob, you were not supposed to leave us this early.. my heartfelt sympathy is with your family. You were a great co-worker and a terrific friend. Your presence put many smiles on faces at the office. You are greatly missed. Sincerely, Lisa

Bobby,
We love you! Roselyn and I will get the kids together. We will keep the tradition going. I will miss you so much.
Michele, Jon, Gabriela, and Stefan

Everytime I was around Bobby he made me laugh and enjoy the times we shared. I am sure he did that with sooo many people. I will always remember his smiling face. It is too bad someone who was always late, left too early! Love Jon G.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...too soon to say good bye. Rest in peace my friend.
