My heart goes out to you for your loss. Your husband, father, and relative was my US Army recruiter when I joined in 1983. He was the soldier I decided to emulate. For the short time I knew him he made quite the impression on me. I became a Ranger in 1986 and a Sniper in 1987.
Again, my deepest sympathies.
Former Sergeant Lee Dunn
Mrs. Drummond, John, Michael, and the entire family, I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing Mr. Drummond make running and being fit a daily life commitment inspired me to do the same. Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Edna and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray you find comfort in his spirit passing to be with his creator.

Johnny was the oldest grandchild to our grandparents, a baby boomer. He is loved dearly by his family. My mom has talked many times about what a pretty baby he was and how excited they all would be when he would come to visit. As he got older he gained many cousins (me being one), who loved and respected him. He will be dearly missed.......
John was a good neighbor, always watching out for me. If my garage door was open, he'd check to see if I was in the yard (Edna does that too). I remember several years ago I went to a Mariners' game with my family. We went in their van and didn't get back here till after midnight. John called to see if I was all right because he didn't recognize their van. Last year, after my femur/hip surgery, John insisted on taking my garbage and recycle bins out to the curb and back later. I'll miss seeing him across the street.
John loved the ocean visits where he would be together with his beloved wife, Edna and his dogs! A man of few words, but devoted to the love of his life, his wife, Edna.
I love you Dad.
