In Ninilchik, by the Ninilchik Russian Orthodox Church, is a cemetery with several dozen graves. One of the graves has a bronze plaque with the text: "Bill Dick Brazel, 1951-1964." Along the bottom of the plaque are three symbols, a long rifle, a pair of hockey sticks with a puck between them, and a fishing pole. Thus, one has to assume that he loved to hunt, fish, and either play or watch hockey.
The cemetery is next to the orthodox church, and several graves have the orthodox cross next to them, so is it likely that this is a church cemetery. There is a fence around most of the cemetery, but if you enter from the veteran's memorial, there are some graves available. Thus, the cemetery is always accessible; however, it would be best to visit during daylight hours.
I could not find specific dates for his birth and death, either at the site or on the internet. Thus, 1/1/ was entered for both years.
