Earl Fred Drozdoski

February 13, 1941 - September 30, 2017

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Earl Drozdoski on Saturday September 30, 2017 at the age of 76. Beloved husband of Rosemary, loving father of Trish (Gary) Sullivan, Grant, and Brent (Kelly) Martin. Dear brother of Stan. Proud Gigi of Cody, Morgan, Kieran, Neil, Sean and Heather. Earl will be missed by nephews Michael and Matthew and extended family and friends.

Earl started his working career with the Toronto Police Association where he met many people who became friends and have remained so throughout his life.

Earl had a strong desire for something more and went to night school while juggling a full time job. His goal to become a teacher was realized and he enjoyed a very successful career at the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board, where he was widely admired for his dedication, intelligence and humor. Throughout his career he was always striving for more and he became a highly regarded department head of Special Education Resources. He had a passion for teaching and valued the friendships he developed over 25 years.

Earl was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus for over 12 years and enjoyed many of the events that they participated in.
He had many other interests including music and sports. He was a huge sports fan. He followed the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, but his favourite by far was the Toronto Blue Jays.

Earl’s joy was his many grandchildren. He was very proud of all their academic and athletic endeavors. He was always interested in what was happening at school and was supportive of their many gifts.
