Offer Condolence for the family of Drake C. Autarch, aka Franklin E. Kirchner
I knew Drake well. We were in Chicago Mensa at the same time, and I attended many game nights at his apartment in Chicago.
I am truly saddened by his death. He was a good man, and a great thinker.
Although I haven’t seen Drake in several years, I have great memories of him from when I first joined Mensa. His hospitality and irreverent sense of humor were a delight. Lefkothea, you have my sympathy and prayers for comfort. May your great memories help you at this difficult time.
Drake was one of the more colorful characters and interesting people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Truly one of a kind.
Requiescat in pace, my friend.
