Drew has been a family friend and squadron mate for many years. His immediate friendly greeting and joyful smile will forever be remembered, along with his quick wit and candid jokes. Always enjoyed seeing Drew when he visited the Cape. Fair winds and following seas Colonel. Semper Fi

"Drew" was a guest speaker at the event that I organized to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the closing of NAS South Weymouth back in 2017. Here he is speaking at this event. Semper Fi...

Tom Mcneil published a comment Drew and I flew together for many years at VWA 322. He was my Executive Officer and successor as CO of the squadron. He was an exceptional pilot. His mantra "On Target On Time". He was a great professional and a very good friend.

Although I served tangentially with Col Ley as a Marine at Naval Air Station, South Weymouth, MA Col Ley being a pilot with VMA-322, an A-4 attack aircraft, and I being in a helicopter squadron, we often crossed paths. When I first met Andrew Ley he was a Captain. The first thing I noted was his smile and greeting. He was the proverbial "nice guy". The years went on and the smile and greeting never diminished. A man's memory is eternal as long as his comrades speak his name. Semper Fidelis Colonel Ley. You were one of the Good Guys.

Drew Ley will forever be remembered by his fellow Marines, myself included, for his devotion to family, the community and the Marine Corps. Semper Fi, rest in peace Drew.

I was so sad to hear of his passing. I was a paralegal at McDermott Will and Emery, and he was among the first lawyers I met that showed me you didn’t have to be a jerk to practice law. He was always hilarious, always kind, and I’m glad that when a I bumped into him a couple years ago on the Needham line I got to tell him that he was a role model for me. I think he feigned horror. Or maybe it was real (he’d always say “why would you want to be lawyer? You see what it’s like...,”) or words to that effect.
