John Drewry was a True Friend whom I visited on a regular basis. I always appreciated our time together in serious and light hearted discussions and in prayer. A True Christian Gentleman !

He always spoke to me anytime I saw him. Always a pleasure to see and I knew him for almost 50 years. God bless him, "little" John C, and Catherine. I will miss him!
