A private graveside service will be held with the Rev. Linda Sue Jones officiating and webcasting of that service will be available beginning Sunday on Drury's life tribute page at www.harleyfuneralhome.com , where you can visit to send messages to the family. A public memorial service will be announced once public health restrictions have been lifted.
The family would like to express their gratitude to his very special best friend, Buddy Owens.
