Kenneth Drury Obituary
Ken was a naturalized U.S. citizen, originally from Yorkshire, England. He made the USA his home in 1983 with his surviving wife of 39 years, Christine, first in NY and then in VA. Ken had many passions and pursuits throughout his life: He was a well-known amateur ballroom dancer with his soulmate partner, Christine. He played the piano. He wrote fictional stories and loved to study history, especially regarding the WWII Holocaust. He took beautiful black and white photographs, and enjoyed watercolor painting. For 23 years, he coached Travel team Boys' Soccer for the Richmond Strikers Club. He loved walking the Pennines and Yorkshire Dales. And he loved his dogs, Puppy, Fuzzy and Mikki. His generous, kind and loving spirit will be deeply missed by his wife and many friends spanning the globe.
The family will hold a private cremation service. A memorial service to celebrate Ken's life will be held at a future date, and details will be announced soon. Condolences may be posted at https://obituaries.virginiacremate.com/obituaries/richmond-va/kenneth-drury-10860684.

I first met Ken and Christine at Mount Vernons Pool in the late 1990's. Every Summer weekend, up until about 2012, I always looked forward to seeing them there at the table a group of us shared. I could write forever about those days but what I valued the most was not the Grill I ran or the volleyball we played, it was all the thought-provoking discussions we had around that table. Ken possessed a Superpower over me that few have ever had. That power was the ability to change my mind, and coming from someone as hardheaded as me that says a lot. Farewell old Friend, may we meet again one day. Please save me a spot at the table.
