There is a childlike joy that resurfaces as we reach our Golden years. Perhaps, that is the reward for a life well-lived. Never was this more evident than seeing Drew Nutting with his Grandchildren, riding a motorcycle, or making a 12-foot putt. Drew sought and lived a life of adventure with his loving wife Laurie Nutting. A nomad by nature he spent his days navigating our nation's roadways with a steady hand and stoic mind. His courage and dedication were only ever exceeded by his compassion.
In between travels, Drew enjoyed time with family surrounded by positive vibes and good humor. To explain the richness of his life is to define him. For Drew, it was about the journey through life enriched by those around him.
If you have a sibling, there is no greater joy than the moments of laughter that makes you cry. Undoubtedly, the brothers Brian, Michael and Drew Nutting had plenty. Their parents Robert Nutting and Cecile Belisle managed this circus and were pretty good grandparents. We miss them fondly.
There are two people who will eventually see the world through Drew’s eyes. He generously donated that to them. His proudest moments were observing the accomplishments of his children, Samuel and Andrew Nutting. We can only hope his recipient will experience that same happiness
We could tell you more about dad, our mother’s husband but you already know him. He’s the guy that people see around town, usually smiling, always willing to lend a hand. Drew will be remembered and celebrated by friends, and close family privately on July 15th. The day of his birth. We ask only that you give him a moment of thought on that day. In lieu of flowers, do a kind gesture and think of him.
