Mr. Drayton's, passing is a Great Loss ! I will truly miss my dear friend , my Mentor and Cheer Leader. Oh the wisdom, the intelligence, all the real life experiences he shared will be treasured for ever. He has had an amazing impact on our community. As a Community Leader and Mentor he modeled community service. He felt it was imperative that we knew our history and to have a say in the decisions that are being made for our lives. Mr. Drayton groomed and encouraged many leaders in our community. May we all, his Family and Friends find a peace that surpass all understanding.
