Roy Anthony Drury Sr.

December 8, 1928 - June 29, 2019

It is with extreme sadness that our father has passed away. He had been battling a long depleting illness that takes the person he was and robbed him of enjoying his “Golden Years”. He now rejoins the love of his life, our mum (Leatrice Joy Drury d.2001), to enjoy their eternal lives together, in Heaven. Dad leaves behind his living daughters Claudia and Debi and sons Bill, Mark, (Roy Anthony Drury Jr. d.2015) and Tommy (d.1954). Daughter in Laws, Judy, Heelie and Debbie, Son in Law Paul Kerschner and many Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, along with one remaining brother, Dr. Bernard Drury, of Santa Barbara CA. Dad was a VERY proud Native San Franciscan, Eagle Scout and Korean War Vet. He graduated from St. Ignatius and USF. He was a very successful Businessman and loving father, friend and devout Roman Catholic, til the end. Dad absolutely loved his local sports teams, win or lose (Giants, Niners & Warriors). Dad and mom loved to travel with so many trips, over their 50+ years of marriage, throughout the US and abroad. Always there with a grin, smile and laugh of encouragement, to those that were willing to listen. He instilled in each of us the ability to love, respect, and show compassion and kindness to our fellow man. A strong-willed, passionate, loving and thoughtful man. This he passed on to his brood.

I also wanted to extend a sincere thank you to all those at Aegis of Moraga, and Vitas Healthcare, for their plan of care for dad’s physical, spiritual and emotional needs.
