Read More	Dr. Frederick Edgar Drew, of Port Orchard, died at his home. He was 75. Drew was a family-oriented man with strong ties to the two churches he belonged to in Kitsap County, said his daughter, Dorothy Freemantle. The spouses of his children were like close friends and included in all the traditional family activities, including annual camping and fishing expeditions to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and one of Drew's favorite activities, cooking. "He was from the South and he liked to cook Cajun food," recalled Ms. Freemantle. Family members would each be given their chopping, mixing or blending assignments, "and since we had a large family, it would take up the whole house," she said. He also was avidly involved in genealogical studies. Dr. Drew was born Nov. 6, 1923, to the Rev. Edmund and Emma Drew in Grand Bay, Ala. His parents preceded him in death. He was raised in numerous states including Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Michigan and spent time at Central College in McPherson, Kan. He attended Seattle Pacific College and joined the Navy. On Nov. 11, 1942, he took fellow student Lucy Marie Fine on their first date aboard the historic ferry Kalakala from Seattle to Bremerton. The couple was married by Dr. Drew's father on Sept. 25, 1944, in Winnsboro, La. Shortly afterward, he entered Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans. After graduation, he began his internship in 1948 at Naval Hospital Bremerton. In 1950, Drew left the Navy and became one of the first three physicians at the new Doctors Clinic. He spent the next 4412 years at the clinic in general practice and doing obstetrics and family medicine. It wasn't unusual, his daughter said, for a grandmother to meet him in the hospital and recognize him as the doctor who had delivered both her children and her children's children. Drew had a special concern about alcoholism and for many years worked regularly at the Kitsap County Alcoholic Rehabilitation Program, known as "Dry Doc." In 1995, Drew retired and moved with his wife to Port Orchard. First as a member of the Bremerton Free Methodist Church, his father's denomination, and later as a member of Grace Bible Church in Port Orchard, Drew found special joy sharing his musical gifts with his family and community, his daughter said. He sang solo and in the choir, and composed. With the help of a fellow church member, he had just completed a new gospel composition before his death. In addition to his wife, survivors include two daughters, Freemantle of Olympia and Cheri Kilmer of Bremerton; four sons, Raymond of Edgewood, Mike of Port Orchard, Pat of Purdy and Mark, a student at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore; grandchildren Drew Freemantle, Brian Kilmer, Lori Flanagan, Ricci Kilmer, Christopher Drew, Christian Drew, Jesse Drew, Sean Drew, Devonne Drew, Kelley Drew, Emma Drew, Alesta Drew, Lydia Drew and four great-grandchildren. A funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 21, 1998, at Grace Bible Church, 7070 Bethel-Burley Road, Port Orchard.
