I'm so sorry to hear of Drew's passing. May fond memories help to ease your loss. Drew was a good friend of mine, and very instrumental in the success of our business. I remember going for long runs through a nearby park, hiking Linville Gorge, boating on local lakes and partying together back in 80s and 90s. I will always be thankful for Drew's friendship, devotion, and leadership. Sincerely, Larry Hook
