As I've always said, you have a magical way of putting your words together. Drake was a brother, and I truly feel honored to have been considered his friend as I'm sure you do too. Partying with Drake, Playing poker with Drake & playing music with Drake was always interesting as I always enoyed his amazing stories, and there were many! I still remember my last conversation with him, as he kept telling me how much he appreciated our lunch we had with him & Alex, and that this was truly last great meal he remembered tasting prior to the feeding tubes. I know that I told you this before, but when he called me (5) days before leaving us, I knew this was his way of saying goodbye! Drake was a serious dude, and may have been hard for some to get close too, however, if you were fortunate enough to get to know him well, and become friends, he'd do anything for you, and that's what makes a great human being. Brother Drake: Forever in our hearts you will stay, Loved and remembered every day. Your poker buddy & fellow musician, Howiekeys! Tommy, my friend!
