ARTHUR DREWLO Mr. Arthur Drewlo, peacefully went to be with his Lord on Monday, January 27, 2003 at the Victoria General Hospital. He was predeceased by his parents, Ernst and Augusta Drewlo; his brothers, Bert and Len; and his sister Margaret Sokol. He leaves to cherish his memory and celebrate his life, his beloved wife of almost 60 years, Tillie; his daughters, Florence (Gary) Adamchuk and Donna (Bert) Ottenson; and his six grandsons, Dylan, Garett and Jordan Adamchuk; Nick, Chris and Nathan Ottenson, who brought him much joy in his retirement.
