Jerry Lewter Bell

Jerry was born on September 2,1947 in Wilmington, NC son to William and Sallie Bell. Including his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Owen Ray and Eugene and many friends that passed before him.

Jerry proudly served in the United States Navy and took several classes at Cape Fear Community College, including Electrical Controls, Blueprint Reading and Trade Math. He was a Craft certified with Flour Daniel and Davis Constructors. Working over 26 years at DuPont he held many positions from Journeyman, Electrician, Foreman, Night Supervisor and General Foreman.
