Jerry Storvick
A faculty Icon
12-31-1929 to 3-3-2018


We were fortunate to have many excellent teachers at Clover Park High School.  Each of us has 2 or 3 or more who we can remember as our favorites or has someone who made a special impact our life.  If we were able to see a list of all of our classmates showing those teachers, my guess is that Jerry Storvick would be mentioned often and maybe most often. 

Jerry was not only a good Social Studies and Contemporary Affairs teacher, but he also made every class day fun and interesting.  And he had a way about him of making every person he spoke with feel that they were a special person.  And, Jerry did feel that we each had something special to offer.  Each of us who had Jerry as a teacher, or simply knew him, has a fondly remembered incident or experience to recount.


If you have something to share that you remember about Jerry, please take the time to send it to Gail Kieffer or Rich Longstreth.

Here is the Obituary that appeared in the Tacoma and Olympia newspapers.

 

Jerry Storvick Obituary

 

Jerry Storvick, 88, was born in Albert Lea, MN on 12-31-1929. He died on 03-03-2018 in Lacey, WA. Jerry attended high school in Albert Lea, MN, and then spent four years in the U.S. Navy. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and the University of Wyoming with a Master of Education in Educational Guidance. He worked as a teacher, a high school counselor, and a public services coordinator from 1957-1990. He held local, state, regional, and national offices in counseling services to high school students. He is survived by his sister-in-law, Lynn Storvick, and family in Columbia, MO. He appreciated family, neighbors, friends, students, their families, and the staff with whom he worked. He wished everyone could receive as much personal satisfaction and gratification from their choice of life work as he did. "Always look for the good in others. It is there," he was known to say. No local services are planned. Interment will take place at Round Prairie Lutheran Church in Glenville, MN.

HI all,
A big thanks to Charlie for his work over the years with all of our reunions.  Wow it's hard to believe it's been 50 years, it seems like yesterday...where has the time gone. 
It was so sad to see how many of our classmates have passed on.  It's hard to believe.  
See you at the reunion in August.

Hello!!  After 50 years I'm finally going to a reunion and looking forward to it.  I have settled in the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula area and after 2 divorces, 4 children and 13 grandchildren I've finally connected with the "love of my life" in my 60's!!!  I doubt anyone will remember me but have many memories of Lakewood and my teen age years. 
See you in Augest :)
