A GOOD man with a<br />
chainsaw.<br />
That’s how Harry Stronach<br />
describes his friend,<br />
well-known Akaroa identity<br />
Johnny McDrury, who<br />
died in a car crash at the<br />
weekend.<br />
Mr McDrury, who lived<br />
in Wainui died in a singlecar<br />
crash at 12.20am on<br />
Sunday on State Highway<br />
75, between Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong><br />
and Takamatua <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
He was the sole occupant<br />
of the car.<br />
Mr Stronach said Mr<br />
McDrury had lived in<br />
Banks Peninsula for about<br />
20 years.<br />
He had three young<br />
adult children Josh, Ruby<br />
and Jamie McDrury. A<br />
Givealittle page, which has<br />

chainsawing sort of work,<br />
tree work and so on.<br />
“He was a good man with<br />
a chainsaw, there’s no question<br />
about that,” he said.<br />
Mr Stronach said Mr<br />
McDrury had a number of<br />
clients in the Akaroa area.<br />
“He actually used to<br />
come and work at our<br />
place. Every couple of<br />
weeks he would come here<br />
for a day and he would do<br />
gardening work or assist<br />
with the trees on the property<br />
here.”<br />
Mr Stronach remembers<br />
Mr McDrury as a kind and<br />
thoughtful man.<br />
“He was a real sort of<br />
gentleman . . . and a bit of a<br />
deep thinker and so on.”<br />
Mr Stronach believes<br />
Mr McDrury was likely<br />
driving home when it happened.<br />
