Richard Draper

The Draper Family:

Was very sadden to hear of Rusty's passing. We were out of state at the time. Would very much have liked to have been able to pay our respects to the family. Rusty was a great individual and a great employee for me. He loved his family very much. He would always tell me of your accomplishments, whether it was track, football, softball, or military service. He was a very proud father and rightly so. I know he will be missed very much by all who knew him. God bless you all.

Dear Draper Family:

It is with deepest sadness that I extend my condolences to you on the loss of your beloved.

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service and dedication to our great country.

May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

Uncle "Bud"
May you rest in peace! I always liked your manner-laid back and very aware of the "goings on" in the family. You gave me hope that I could live a fulfilling life after undergoing a triple by-pass. You will be missed!

To the Draper family my prayers are with each of you at this time. May God be with each of you through this time.

Although I only had the pleasure of spending several summers playing baseball with Mr.Draper(Rusty), they were very memorable times. I was always amazed to see the homeruns come off his bat,what a great hitter and what a Great Human Being!He will missed but not forgotten! Member of Varsity Baseball Club 1970's

Playing baseball with Rusty in the early 1970's was one of best times I had in my baseball career. Rusty could not have been a better teammate or person. I will truly miss him, but I will always remember the happiness he gave me and many others. My very best to his wife, children, and family. I am quite sure that God is bestowing many blessings on Rusty right now!
I wish so much that I could be there.

As someone who was seemingly surrounded by Drapers growing up(!), I knew them to be quality people, which speaks volumes about the man.

Family, my prayers of comfort, strength and grace in the coming days.
