DRURY, CALVIN W. Calvin W. Drury, age 86, passed away November 3, 2013 in Albuquerque NM. Calvin was born September 22, 1927 in Burkett TX. to W.N. and Inez Drury. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years Patsy Drury; daughters Cynthia Jobe, husband Olin, Theresa Drury, partner Lenore Sanchez; sons, Ronald Anders, Danny Drury, wife Lori, Kenneth Drury, wife Sherrie and Randy Drury; also, ten grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Calvin served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Korea and Japan. After completing his service he traveled and worked with brothers and friends throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. His wanderlust slowed greatly after meeting Patsy. He and Patsy eventually settled in Albuquerque and raised their family in the north valley. Calvin owned a small roofing company for many years and all of his sons and many of their friends had their first jobs working with him. Calvin always enjoyed work; roofing, working on cars and gardening but he found true joy spending time with family and friends. Countless weekends were spent at Elephant Butte and El Vado water skiing, playing, laughing and grilling. That man really loved to grill steak. Calvin loved Patsy and their children, worked hard, laughed often and treated everyone well. His was a rich life and we are all richer for having him in ours. A memorial service will be held November 14, 2013 at Mars Hill Church, 4700 San Mateo Blvd., Albuquerque, NM. 87109 at 11:00 am.
