Anyone that ever knew Uncle Drexel would realize the loss our family is feeling. There was not a kinder, funnier, more loving man. He loved all his family and was so proud of all of them. He is deeply missed but in a better place and joyous right now. To Aunt Mary, Brent, Gail and Mark: we love you all so much. Thank you for sharing Uncle Drexel with me like he was my second dad.
