General Notes: Husband - James Henry Drew
For your Genealogy records, my father James Henry Drew, born 28 May 1918 in Montreal, died 10 December 2001 at the hospital in Lachine, QC. He never remarried. He is buried at the Rideau Memorial Gardens in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC. For the record, my father was a very caring person, hard-working, with a big heart and a kind trusting soul. He had a great sense of humor and was liked by everyone. His favourite pass time, in his later years was reading, especially the newspaper - always wanted to keep up on what was happening in the world.
General Notes: Wife - Rita Croteau
He married Rita Croteau 21 November 1953 and she divorced him 5 November 1979 (finalized date of divorce). Actually, she had her marriage anulled by the Catholic church so she could marry Charles Calon, a Catholic farmer who lived just outside of Drumheller, AB. She divorced Charles Calon around 1997 or early 1998. They had no children.
