Peter Drost
September 11, 1947 - September 30, 2019
Very sad news just received from close friend and classmate 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."
"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. 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, Ca. His 3 kids went to the University in California, so Sara and he wanted to be with them."
"In 1976, Pete rode with a group called the Bikecentenial, across the US, from Oregon to New York."
"Besides his beautiful wife, Sara, Peter leaves 3 children and 4 grandchildren."
Pete with his wife, Sara.
Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
RIP Pete.

Oh Lee, I am so sad to hear this. Peter was a dear friend and classmate at Burbank Christian School. We had such a great visit with him and Sarah in Hawaii back in 1987. I haven't seen him since then, but will always remember his friendship, hospitality, and sharing teen years in the youth group at church. Praying for you and your family in your devastating loss.

So sorry for your loss, Lee
Lee, Pete and I have had many wonderful adventures in the past 9 years, often led by Pete. Pete's best friend from Hawaii, Steve Molman, said Pete is on a new adventure; perhaps he is leading the way for the rest of us.
