Joseph Drew Obituary
Joe loved taking Sunday drives. He was always up for an adventure, off to visit a museum, or to play skeeball at Hampton Beach with the kids. He took pride in his family watching Brook and Steven grow into adults, then enjoyed being a grandfather. He adored his partner of 33 years Colleen, and was thankful for her love and support. He loved going to Sunday Mass, as well as his Native American heritage.
He is survived by his son, Steven Drew; daughter, Brook Lontine; his long-time partner, Colleen Cebula; brother, Ronald Drew; sisters, Suzanne Drew and Theresa Drew. As well as grandsons, Christian, Jeffrey and Alexander.
