Roger L. Drewes

Roger L. Drewes, 71, peacefully passed away September 20, 2013 surrounded by his family and close friend, Al Hayes, at Ebeid Hospice Residence from complications of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosed August 1, 2013.

Roger was born in Toledo to the late Alvin and Esther Drewes. He was a graduate of DeVilbiss High School. Roger was part of the construction trade all his life retiring from the Lathrop Company as their Small Jobs Division Estimator and Project Manager. He always had projects, from restoring two '68 Corvettes to renovating his summer cottage and was always willing to be the helping hand to his children and friends. Roger had a collection of many man-toys including his boats and cars, but his pride and joy was his '56 Chevy Belair. He was a quiet man with many talents. He cared and loved his family very much. ROGER, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!
