By Carl Kanaskie, Member, Lancaster Group
The Lancaster Group reports, with deep sympathy, the passing of Jeffrey L. Druce, 71. A valued member of the group, Jeff was involved in many of its activities over the years and, for the past five, served as its distinguished Political Chair.
His direct support of the PA Chapter also is noteworthy. As an original member of its Finance Committee, he helped create the chapter’s financial policies.
Jeff, who had an outstanding career in banking, was an environmentalist of the first class—loving and caring for nature and the outdoors. He will be remembered, fondly, for his special qualities, among them his dedication to family, friends, and community, his good humor, and the pleasant, kindly manner he exhibited when in the company of anyone.
In addition to his wife, Jane, Jeff is survived by two sons and several grandchildren. For more information, the complete LancasterOnline obituary can be found here.
