He had many things he enjoyed including playing baseball when he was younger and the guitar, both of which have been passed down through the family as well. Pops spent his days doing the things he loved, spending time with his wonderful wife Dale Jordan Drake and enjoying Sundays at Free Rider fellowship Church. He has left a legacy that will live on not only through his family but all those he touched with his presence in life. He will be truly and deeply missed by all.
