I am so sad.

Drake was the best. The best.

I had a storyline with Drake in 2003. I was the clueless neophyte. He was the venerable legend. And he could not have been cooler, more helpful, or more wonderful. I am so sad. https://t.co/SUZkilYoEV

I don’t think you could find anyone who had ever met Drake Hogestyn who didn’t like him. I didn’t know him well, but our paths crossed many times. I always found a warm, accessible, friendly and very, very funny man. The world is a lesser place without him. R.I.P. #FlightOfAngels… pic.twitter.com/L2WyuhBzL9
