Sword in the Scroll founder Drew Page passed away at his home this Wednesday evening, July 27th at the age of 52. Though cancer has taken him from us all too soon his spirit will always be present in the SITS community he has created. Drew founded Sword in the Scroll Fencing Academy in 2006 and has been Head Coach here for over 16 years. His passion for the sport was infectious, as was his commitment to bringing the sport of fencing to people of all social and economic backgrounds. For many of us Coach Drew has been an important and formative figure in our lives, and a true benefit to our community. He was deeply loved and he will be deeply missed.

A memorial service will be held next Saturday, August 6th 2:00pm at the 2nd Congregational Church, 1746 Boston Tpk. Coventry. A reception at the church will follow. The service will also be livestreamed. Those attending in person are asked to wear masks. In lieu of flowers the family is asking that donations be made to the SITS Endowment Fund as Drew preferred swords over flowers. A celebration of life party will happen at the end of summer/early fall.
