DRURY, ROD

Rod Drury passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in Mountain View Complex Care Facility, Kelowna, on May 8, 2016. He is survived by his loving wife Joyce (n茅e Moody) and their children Donna (Marie-Andr茅e) of Montreal, Larry (Vicki) of Red Deer, Denise of Banff and sister Carol Lawrence of Kelowna. Rod香蕉视频直播檚 life was enriched by grandsons

Matthew (Elaine) of Vancouver and Mark (Alexis) of Red Deer, their mother Dianne (deceased), former son-in-law Bruce Anderson of Banff, 香蕉视频直播渟tep香蕉视频直播� granddaughters Susan and Caitlin of Calgary, extended family and many wonderful friends. Rod enjoyed his 30+ year career in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was proud to be commissioned from the ranks. He had a passion for airplanes and, even close to the end

of his life, would always search the skies at the sound of a passing plane. Rod and Joyce made many moves and had some wonderful travels together before happily settling in

Kelowna in 1990.  Even after numerous strokes left him disabled and unable to live at home, Rod maintained his sense of humour and remained upbeat about his life.

His positive and appreciative outlook was reinforced by Joyce香蕉视频直播檚 constant love and by the exceptional kindness of

the staff at Mountain View. Rod and Joyce made good friends with staff, volunteers and other residents and their family members at Mountain View - and earlier with

those at Brookhaven.  Being able to go sailing regularly

with the Disabled Sailing Association of British Columbia

was a highlight of Rod香蕉视频直播檚 life in recent years. 

There will be a family memorial gathering at a later date.

Should friends desire, donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Disabled Sailing Association: C/O DSA Tracy Delorme, 1370 Water Street, Kelowna, V1Y 1J1.
