Strathearn Park Docent Since 2006

Jerry Gravil

I was born in Glendale. I lived in the other valley and spent all my time in the mountains of Chatsworth at my Grandparents house. They raised cattle and horses that they bought from the Boyle Family. I worked as a teamster's warehouseman in Northridge for 25 years. Then I became a brick and stone mason for 14 years until I was disabled with osteo-arthritis and had a heart attack.

I raised four girls who are all married and I have 13 grandchildren.

I am now a caregiver for my wife who is confined to bed and a docent at Strathearn Park, and loving everything about life.
