Jerry was active in creating memorials and working in the Twin Firs cemetery in Belfair, WA. He provided, at his own expense, simple markers for individuals buried in the cemetery who had none.
His Find A Grave Bio:
I live north of Allyn driving to Belfair on North East State Route 3. I have added photos of some veterans graves markers that I knew since living here in 1987. I and my Legion post 200 decorate veterans graves here for every Memorial Day. I will look at some more veterans names on the list to see if they need a photo of their marker and snap photos of them at Twin Firs Cemetery and put on Find a Grave. I added three names today with marker photos. I'm a Vietnam Navy Veteran 1968-1981.
