Clyde E. Drury Jr.'s Obituary
Clyde Earl Drury Jr. SMSGT, USAF (Retired)
On July 31, 2015 we lost our beloved and esteemed father surrounded by his seven children. Clyde was born on March 21, 1930 in Springfield, Illinois to Clyde and Louise Drury.
He was preceded in death by his loving and beautiful wife, Mila who passed away on March 9, 2015. Left to cherish his memories are his seven devoted children; Gloria Bell of San Antonio, TX; Julie Baublits, Clyde E. Drury III (Julie), Greg Drury (Linda), Richard Drury (Diana) of Tacoma, WA; Ann Watson from VA; and Debra Davis (Bill) of Las Vegas, Nevada. Also left to mourn his passing are his brother David Drury and sisters Barbara Nugent and Billie Stack.
Grandpa Drury is honored, and respected by his 16 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
He was a decorated Korean War veteran who proudly served 20 years in the Air Force. In addition, he was an avid fisherman who is a published author of fishing books.
The family would like to thank the personal and attentive care he received from the CCU staff (2nd floor South) at Madigan Hospital. Because of his faith in Jesus Christ, he is now at peace and at home with Mama and his Heavenly Father. He will be sorely missed for the rest of our lives!
A funeral service for Clyde will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2015 - 10:00 AM in the
