Jerry Stapp bench on the Oceanside Pier.

Perhaps you’ve seen this bench on the Oceanside Pier and wondered, like me, who Jerry Stapp is.

A beautiful bronze plaque with an image of Stapp’s face adorns the bench. On the bench are inscribed the words: IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD. RELAX AND ENJOY.

I found this article about the life of Jerry Stapp. For many years he was a community champion. Among other endeavors, was a big supporter of the Oceanside Boys and Girls Club.

What a beautiful place on the Oceanside Pier, overlooking the beach and the wide. blue Pacific Ocean. What a fine tribute to somebody who made a positive difference in people’s lives.
