Deryle was a WWII veteran, serving as Radioman First Class, U.S. Navy. He was an incredibly unselfish person who always went out of his way to help others and had so much determination. Because of that determination, he convinced the City of Jacksonville to provide a right- hand turn lane at Hendricks Ave. and Greenridge Rd. We will miss him so very much.
