Back to What Matters
After a trying year, man gets help returning to hobby
By KAREN LANGLEY

Following a year that delivered one blow after another to a Loudon
man, a local company has pitched in to help rebuild his sanctuary.
The trials of Kerry and Sharon Drake began when their beloved
German shepherd died of cancer. Then, they struggled to care for
Sharon Drake's elderly father and battled his insurance company
to find the right assisted living facility.
Then came Kerry Drake's three-month sabbatical from his job as information technology director of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund. Kerry Drake, 42, planned to spend most of the time rebuilding his backyard workshop, where he spends time making furniture. On the sixth day of his sabbatical, right after he tore down the old workshop, doctors diagnosed him with thyroid cancer.
He underwent two major surgeries, one requiring 27 staples that left a rose-colored scar around his throat. And in the days surrounding the first surgery, he lost his uncle during an unrelated surgery and his father to a heart attack.
