The Story
"Petey D" (Peter Drake) has died while visiting his son's family in Hexham, Northumberland, UK, after falling sick with Covid. Petey was born in Carmarthen, Wales, UK and attended the local "Queen Elizabeth High School" (QEHS) before heading for London to train as a teacher of chemistry and science. He was later made a schools advisor to the British government (many of of his academic papers and presentations are posted at and ). After reaching retirement he fulfilled a long-standing promise to his wife by moving to his her hometown of Northumberland, NY. He was the kindest of men blessed with both a sharp intellect and a wicked t sense of humor - sad faces were "banned from every classroom" when he was in full flow!
He leaves two children (Peter and Joan), wife Sharon, and his two Jack Russell dogs (his "teenage girls"!).
Tributes will appear in Chronicleonline (https://www.chroniclelive.co.…), The Mirror (https://www.mirror.co.uk)&nbs… the "Hexham Courant" (https://www.hexham-courant.co…)
