Although Mr. Drapelick and I never met personally, his son, Todd, and I were science lab partners in 8th grade Henry James Junior High School.  Todd was the quintessential writer who embodied accuracy of writing style, much like the Biblical gospel writer, Luke, the physician, who wrote with a descriptive narrative unmatched by other Bible writers.  It indeed was my pleasure to share our time together, Todd's and my, in 8th grade.

My condolences to the Drapelick family for their loss of Anthony Sr.  May your family feel comforted in the hope of knowing their father is no longer in pain or suffering, and that someday they have an opporunity to see him again. (Revelation 21:3, 4; John 5:28, 29)
