I just discovered that Captain Jerry L. Scantling passed in 2008. Jerry and I served together as aboard MCB, Camp Lejeune . We were roommates for a period of time and worked in personnel adminsitration together. I will never forget those fun times we shared as young Marines. Jerry was an outstanding Marine, who loved his family, country and Corps. RIP my dear friend. Semper Fi!
