Thomas M. Drake

Donna and family, Sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Be strong and remember the good times.
So go and run free
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each...

I read of Tom passing and was saddened by it.
Tommy was a childhood friend dating back to elementary school. I lost track of him but never forgot him.
I remember how proud he was at the time that the Apollo 11 moon landing occurred on his birthday. To this day, anytime I hear a mention of that historic date, I think, "Yeah, and that was on Tommy Drake's birthday."
We move on from childhood friendships but we never forget them. I will remember Tommy.

Jeanne and Family, So sorry to read of Tom`s passing.Remember the happy times and the laughs we shared

TOMMY,I AM honored to have been your cousin and can only wish I could have half the strength you had, along with that great sense of humor you expressed even when times were tough.One of my better memories goes back to the parties our parents had when we were little kids and we played in my parents basement.I also remember some of the Christmas get togethers. I also remember that last game of bocce we played just last year, although I don't remember who won, I remember you making us all...

Tom was a great guy. He is already missed but lives on in my heart and in the hearts of his family and all of us he called his friends. "Friends forever" as Tom always said. My heart goes out to Jeanne, Mike, Donna, John, Crystal and Kayliegh, Auntie Barb and all the cousins. What a wonderful family. Much love to you all, and to Tom, Gail

Donna and family, so very sorry for your loss. It is very hard losing a brother.
