Family seeks answers on a father’s final days battling COVID-19 at veterans home
From gently cradling his first grandchild to being a source of support on special days, family meant everything to Chris Drayer.
Now his sons say they’re honoring that legacy by making it their mission to reveal the circumstances surrounding the 70-year-old’s death.
Dayer was the third veteran to die at the Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home in Hilo, where a total of 27 residents have now died after contracting COVID-19.
