Richard C. Drake

Semper Fi. My condolences to Mr Drake's family and friends. He was such a kind and fun gentleman, and it was an honor to have met Mr Drake and been able to listen to many of his great military experiences. God Bless Mr Drake and May You Rest In Peace Sir.

Very Respectfully,

To all the family and friends of Mr. Drake,
I am sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. While I have not known him personally he was always a sweet, kind man and an awesome Land Surveyor. All my sympathies, I will remember him fondly.

I met Richard, while we were both doing family histories (our grandfathers were brothers) We had a great time sharing our info with long conversations on the phone and in person. A true genuine nice guy. My thoughts are with you all.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My Dad was the nicest person I knew. His depth of character, his endearing innocence n great sense of humor, along with a zest for life made Him an inspiration to us all.My Dad possessed wisdom humor an incredible moral compass n intelligence, He is an inspiration to us all. I miss u so Daddy

I LOVE MY POPPA . HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART

I miss you, Daddy. You were an amazing man. I'll never forget your smile and the twinkle in your eyes. Love, Patty

What a wonderful,sincere guy he was! Dick was Master of Amityville Lodge when I was raised, and remained a friend and mentor throughout our friendship. His wisdom will be missed at life's table.

Dear Mrs. Drake & family,
Richard & I go back a long way. My Mom, and his, Marion, were long time friends, and for a time my mother used to do house-cleaning for the Drake house.
He & I were members of Amityville Lodge, and if my memory serves me correctly, even went to Amityville High School together.
You, his family, and the community at large have lost a great friend, and I share your sadness.
God Bless You all.
