Wayland Miller Drew died December 3, 1998. His funeral was held in Bracebridge, Ontario. He was survived by his wife Gwendolyn, his 4 children (Scott, Marda, PaulA & Cindy), and by 6 grandchildren. Contributions to the ALS Society of Canada or the South Muskoka Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family. He was born in Oshawa, Ontario. He was an author, teacher and environmentalist. In 1991 he was honoured by Trent University (Peterborough, Ontario) with a "Doctor of Letters" degree.
