John "Jack" William Drumm, 96, entered into eternal rest on July 20th, 2018. He passed peacefully at home with loved ones at his side. Born May 31, 1922, in Pittsburgh PA, John lived in Mentor, OH for 50 years before moving to the California coast last fall with his daughter. He was a loving, cherished and dedicated father, grandfather, great-grandfather, husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. Jack was a lover of all sports, his favorites being Notre Dame football, the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jack was active all his life and enjoyed reminiscing often about his football and basketball years at Dormont High School in PA. He was a jogger throughout his life and in later years kept fit by working out on his Total Gym and walking the track or the neighborhood streets daily, well into his 90's. His favorite pastime in his last couple years was playing “Jack Rummy” with anyone willing. Above all, Jack put his family first. He was respectful and selfless in anything he did, always putting his family and friend’s well-being and happiness before his own. Jack’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren became his heart and soul. His “bundles,” as he called them, gave him so many happy moments that filled his later years with joy and laughter. Jack served in the Army Air Corp from 1942 to 1945, his specialty in the Intelligence division. He was stationed in South Dakota, Europe and Africa with the 775th Bombardment Squadron / 463rd Bombardment Group. When he returned home to PA, he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Accounting from Washington & Jefferson College. In 1955, he married his “Dol”. After having their five daughters they relocated to Ohio. Throughout his career, he worked in corporate tax accounting and retired from the Scott & Fetzer Company in Lakewood, Ohio. In his years after retirement, Jack kept busy staying current with the newest technologies, investing in futures stocks into his 80’s. He is survived by his daughters Debi Scarcelli (Joe), Sharon Drumm, Suzanne Foxhall (Ward), Karen Drumm Marshall (Troy Jasko), and Kathy Krause (Jerry). grandchildren who adored him - Steven Foxhall (Amy), Chris Foxhall (Jaclynne), Jesse Ganzhorn (Chris), Lauren Marshall, Megan Krause, two great-grandchildren, Paige Foxhall and Dolores Foxhall, and many nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death were his loving wife of 60 years Dolores, his parents Arthur and Alice (Cassidy) Drumm, brothers Arthur Jr., Charles “Bud”, sisters Mary and Dodi, nephews Mark Matway and Casey Snyder and his beloved grandson, Jason Scarcelli. The family would like to thank Visiting Angels of Mentor, Ohio, Apreva Hospice of San Diego, CA, and the kind and compassionate caregivers for their special attention and excellent care they helped provide during his last year.
