HOBOKEN — A New Milford man, Darren Drake, 33, was among the eight victims of Tuesday’s terror attack in Lower Manhattan, the Record of Hackensack reported on Tuesday. The paper reported that the man commuted from the Hoboken train station to the World Trade Center each day, and had been working on a master’s degree at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken.
The Record said Drake was a project manager at Moody’s Investors Service and had served on the New Milford school board.
“James Drake said he and his son spent a lot of time together because he drove Darren every day to the Hoboken Terminal, so that he could catch the PATH train to work,” the article states. ” ‘We talked about how late we were,’ ” Drake said about their last conversation in the car. James Drake said his son had rented a Citi Bike Tuesday and that he was listening to an audiobook: ‘1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus,’ by Charles C. Mann. The younger Drake had a penchant for learning, his father said. He was working toward a second master’s degree at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. He had six or seven courses left, James Drake said.”
