“When I think of Chad - I smile because that is what he was always doing.. He never failed to call me "Mr. Drews" even after he graduated from school. If there ever was an example of a person with a heart of gold, it was Chad. I spent a good two hours with him on Tuesday afternoon. We talked and joked and had a nice visit. I truly will miss him and feel blessed to have known him. ”
