Harold "Butch" Drake, a dearly beloved husband, father, brother, son, grandfather, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, April 1, 2024. He was a pillar of strength and positivity, facing his long battle with illness and pain with unmatched courage and optimism.
Survived by his loving wife Lore Drake, devoted daughters Christina (Michael Musantry) and Ginnine (Michael Ginevra), mother Margaret Beo, siblings Theresa (Morrell), Roberta, Dawn, and Tony (Beo), and grandchildren Christopher and Danielle (Ginevra). Predeceased by brother Norman and father Robert. Harold leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness. His presence brought joy and smiles to all who knew him, and his absence will be deeply felt by his family, numerous nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends.
