Dear Shelley: 
        I was away in early August and only learned yesterday that Ken is no longer with us. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing and for your loss! In my decades of contact with Ken, I was gratified by his too rare combination of personal traits: decency & caring, warmth, dedication to his commitments, humor, thoughtfulness & intelligence. He was a truly fine man, and a wonderful memory for your family. 
                 With sympathy,
                                    Paul D. Pearson

Dearest Drake Family,

Everytime I think of Ken I see that bright smile on his face that lit up the room.  He was truly one of the nicest people I have ever   met. I knew him through working at Unyts and I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know him. He was so helpful and always so positive.  He will be greatly missed by so many people. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

A distinguished man who was always kind, thoughtful and welcoming. Rest in peace Ken; and my sincerest condolences to Shelley, Rob, Allison and the Buffalo community which has lost a friend.  

Ken was a great golfing friend of mine 
I’m so sad . He will be greatly missed.

Ken Drake...a friend for close to 50 years. Ken was one of the smartest people I've ever known. He was honest and most of all, caring.

His values were reflected in his work ethic, his friendship, and his golf game

Our sincerest sympathy to Shelley, Rob, Allison and family

Ken will be missed...but never forgotten

Love you Ken....Rest in Peace
