Bob and I were childhood friends growing up on Wadsworth Ave. Only one year older than me. I'd run into him a few times a year at Tops on Payne and Meadow and we'd catch up on things. Billy Joel sang "only the good die young". So true in this situation. My heart goes out to the entire Drass family.
