Condolences:

My sincere sympathy to the Rodgers Family. Drew lived a couple of house's down from us on Barren Road in Newtown Square during his early years. Even though I was much younger I remember his funny laugh and great personality. He recently was back in Newtown and made a point of stopping by and seeing my parents which made their day. All six of my brothers and mother Susie extend our heartfelt sorry. Lots of love in this tough time, Patrick Monahan Alison Monahan Suzanne Monahan

Dear Donna & Julie, I am sure you don't remember me, but I use to work with Drew at Vic's. I use to be Mary Marosi. I am so sad, to hear of Drew's passing. He was a great man, and a wonderful soul. Julie you were his Bragging pole, we would walk around the store, and it was always Julie this, and Julie That. You are in my prayers.

Dear Donna, Julie, Mrs Rodgers and Marianne, I am so terribly saddened with your lose. It s at times like this that we are reminded how very precious every moment of every days is and that we should not take anything for granite. I didn't get to see Drew when he was home recently but we talked often and caught up through facebook. I can only hope that in time you can remember him and smile and think of all the happy times you have shared because I truly believe that time and your faith in God will help get you through this very difficult time. Thinking of you Denise

My name is Brian Owens and I worked with Drew at Vic's in Novi. Drew was a great man, a great boss and a great friend. He always put great faith in me and from him i learned many things that have served me well through life. When i started to lose my way in school or in life it was Drew and Mary who were there to remind me to take it one day at a time and be the best i could be. I want to offer my most sincere condolences and to let you know that Drew will live on forever in all of us whom he touched. You will be in my prayers.
