Our beloved father, Patrick, died peacefully on July 27, 2021 in Issaquah, WA at the age of 92. He was born on April 17, 1929 in Seattle, the only son of Fred & Ivy Drury. He graduated from Lakeside Highschool, and then attended Whitman College.
He served our country in the Air Force from 1950-1954 as an Airman Second Class. He fell in love & married Lucy Henley in 1955. They had two girls, Lani & Pamela. As long time Kirkland residents they lived in the same house for over 50 years. They were “snowbirds” & loved going to Palm Springs every year during their retirement where they enjoyed the sunshine & lots of golf. They had 60 wonderful years together before Lucy passed away in February of 2016. There are so many wonderful memories of our Dad that we will always treasure! He was an incredible father & he lived a great life! Patrick is survived by his two daughters, Lani Dodge & Pamela Eidukas, & his granddaughter, Maya Jacqueline Eidukas
