When we were kids, I used to love to swing him around until he was high in the air ,he had a hilarious laugh during and would slow down back to ground when I became dizzy. I grew up with the family of 7 children. All my love...

Went to high school with Drew and spent many an evening with him having great times. He was a big hearted person and I always admired him taking care of his brother Brain. Rest in peace brother. Until we meet again.
