Edward Kent Drumeller of Florissant, MO passed away at his home on August 8, 2023. Kent was a Communication Watch Officer on the USS Yorktown (CVS-10) from 1962 to 1964, before he was reassigned to a Navy shore communications station in Alaska. He was a fellow with an enormous heart for his fellow shipmates, notwithstanding his own failing heart that carried him along with his son Josh and family who provided a wonderful home throughout his final years on this Earth.
