Dan was a great friend at Lakewood Baptist Church as a Deacon. He was very supportive as well as a great man knowing God and the Bible. It is sad that he has left us here on earth, but is with his Lord and Savior in Heaven. Amen Dan. We will see you again in the future. God Bless the family at the time of this loss!!

Bonnie, Ben, Julie and kids -- It's taken me a few days to deal with this. My hearing of Dan's passiong from our mutual lifelong friend, Charlie Mistretta, was just as Dan would have wanted. The three of us, with Bonnie all the way, spent 13 years together at C.C. Ring (first class to enter there), Washington Jr. High and JHS. While I've lived elsewhere since our graduation in 1969, memories of our countless hours of time together are now more precious than ever. Bonnie, I've always thought of you and Dan as one of the most in-love couples I've ever known. I pray that you will have peace and strength at this time, and will look forward to seeing and hugging you the next time I'm back home. Ben and Julie, what eothers have said about your Dad's endless pride in each of you is so true. You and your Mom, together with his wonderful faith, were the light of his life. For everyone that was coached and mentored, on athletic fields (incl. Babe Ruth baseball), by Dan, please know this -- he was the successor of another great man, Russ Bloomquish, and will live on, through you and all that you similarly do, wherever you are, for many years to come. Peace and Love to your dear family, and to all who will miss Dan's smile, humor and good heart.

Dear BonBon and family,
We are so shocked to hear about Dan. We can't stop thinking about you and your family. We have so many memories of spending time at your place when you and Dan were first married. You two were so generous and gracious and always welcomed us....and fed us! (Best chocolate chip cookies EVER.) We hope it will give you some comfort at this time knowing how ready Dan was to meet His Lord. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Drake...I can't think of anything else I ever called him. I think it is because of how much respect we had for him. He spent countless hours playing ball and talking to us. It was only after I had become a man myself that I realized how much he really had taught me. He was a good man.

Dear Bonnie and family: Dan was a wonderful cousin.I have so many fond memories of Dan and his siblings,during our childhood years. He was so special and always putting others first. I was so proud of the man he became. He was so loving of his wife ,children and grandchildren. His dedication to them will always be remembered. Dan loved the Lord with all his heart and he shared his love of Jesus with everyone he met and had a Bible Study in his home where I heard from many people saying how much they were encouraged by his Bible teachings. Bonnie, Ben, Julie and families you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers as I will miss him too. Much Love and Prayers cousin Sharon

Sending love and prayers to Bonnie, Ben, Julie, and their families. I will miss Dan coming into the office and always making me smile. I will never forget the time he came in with his visor and bleach blond spiked hair! He always tried to work Charlie over for "more benefits" for Sue and I, he was our future "union guy." I loved the way he cherished Bonnie and took such good care of her. Bonnie, you were one lucky lady. He will be missed by many. Family is what will keep you guys strong. God Bless you all.

Words can not express the feelings I have inside. Dan was a true friend. We met back in the 70's when we started coaching together with the Northside (JMFL). Dan's knowledge of the game was outstanding, he was the master mind behind that powerful offence. He was a special guy. During that time our children grew up together with many a wonderful visits at the lake for fun time. Years passed and the children grew up . The games we worked together at JHS on the chain crew (Dan, Chuck and me)it was like old times. We enjoyed the game but we had a great love for each other.
Dan was a true brother in Christ. You will be missed.
In His Name ,

Dear Ben and the entire Drake Family,
I just learned of Dan’s passing and I wanted to express my sincere condolences to you. Dan will always be “Coach Drake” to the multitude of young boys from the Northside of Jamestown whom he coached, mentored and molded during the countless hours of football practice in right field of Roseland Park on many a fall night. Dan was not just teaching us football, but setting the foundation for life lessons that would sustain us long after our playing days were over. I look back on those years with very fond memories and like many other former players, pay it forward each fall by volunteering to coach youth football in hopes of having a similar impact on a generation of boys as Dan did. He made a difference and we are forever in his debt. God bless you all and thank you for sharing him with us.
