My uncle, Harry Drost, was one of the finest men I have known in my life. He was the perfect example of what a man should be. He spoke his mind and never wavered in his love for family, America and in particular the United States Navy. My wife and I share the sorrow of his loss. We are indebted to him and my Aunt Pat Drost for the love and companionship we were fortunate enough to share on our trips to their home.
I will forever cherish the last trip when I sat with him and got a history lesson about his Naval service. I still have photos of him feeding the deer and turkeys in the back yard as Nancy and I sat in wonderment as he interacted with the wildlife.
Our hearts go out to Aunt Pat. 64 years of marriage in what my mother, Helen Sapp, described as the most perfect marriage she had ever seen. Mom always spoke of "Goog" whenever we spoke. She was worried because she said he was always hurting himself.
Our family lost a great man and our country lost a great patriot; something we seem to have too few of today.
Rest in peace Uncle Harry "Goog", Thank you for being the person you were; someone I always looked up to. Nancy and I both love you and will miss you forever.
