September 11, 1947 - September 30, 2019
From Eliede Drost Pounds, BHS '67...
"We are devastated as we have lost our dear brother, husband, father, and grandfather from an apparent stroke or heart attack. My brother Peter Drost always gave of himself and shared his love for his family. He loved nature and hiking. He leaves a giant hole in our hearts."
"Peter was born 9/11/47 and died last Monday, September 30, 2019 in Oakhurst, California."
"The Drost family immigrated from the Netherlands in 1955 and Peter grew up in Burbank. He was a Marine and was going to Vietnam, so they sent him to Vietnamese Language School in Hawaii. He was an interpreter in Vietnam.
"In 1976, Pete rode with a group called the Bikecentennial, across the US, from Oregon to New York."
He fell in love with Hawaii and lived there 40 years and came back to the mainland about 8 years ago. He lived close to me and my brother Henry in Oakhurst, California. His three children went to the University in California, so Sara and he wanted to be with them."
Besides his beautiful wife, Sara, Peter leaves three children and four grandchildren, his sister, Eliede and his brother, Henry.
Palm Memorial - Sierra Chapel, 49269 Road 426, Oakhurst, California is handling the arrangements.
