DRURY, Paul Robert - (August 28, 1964 - October 8, 2018)
Detective Sergeant Paul Robert Drury was a proud police officer for the Toronto Police Service for 34 years. He wore many hats and was highly accomplished and respected by his colleagues and members of the community.
Despite having a job that was often serious, our Dad managed to bring his big, bright, presence into every professional situation he entered.
Our Dad was a loving, handful of a husband, the goofiest, most dedicated parent, a passionate coach, and the funniest guy at every table. He was always plotting an adventure for us and our friends, and he couldn’t sit still for more than five minutes.
Our Dad often held up a tough guy facade, but our house was home to many rescue dogs throughout my childhood who apparently “just looked at him” and he couldn’t say no, and was always an emotional wreck during sad movies.
Our Dad’s parents and little brother, David, were always and always will be so proud of the accomplished person he was.
Our Dad’s in-laws would describe him as a complete handful, but loved him as if he were their own son.
Ask any member of our family, close friends, strangers, fellow police officers, and I guaruntee you will hear some sort of funny, ridiculous memory with our Dad.
Our Dad had such a big spirit that you could feel whenever you were with him, and his absence is so apparent. We’ll miss that silly guy every single day, but we know he’s proud of us. We find comfort in the fact that we know our Dad is still cheering us on, even if he’s not here with us.
