Robert Drumel Obituary

Robert Joseph Drumel, 80, passed away at his Yuma home. Robert was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Robert married Colette Toussaint in 1956 and they lived in Milwaukee until they moved to Yuma Arizona in 2003. He is survived by his wife, Colette, sister Janice, brother Richard, two children, Rodney and Deborah.

Robert was a family man, loving husband and father. He always put his family's needs before his own. He sacrificed everything for his family. He loved traveling, outdoors, target and and trap shooting, flea markets and being wherever his family was.

He worked 31 years as a long distance truck driver. He was a jack of all trades, he could repair automobiles, plumbing, electrical, roofing and put any piece of equipment together.

He was the strength, foundation and backbone of the family and he will be greatly missed.

A special thanks to Ram and Meera Krishna for their friendship, respect and honor of Robert.
