Jerry Smith

Post by Shane Glover »

Jerry passed away last Friday evening. Jerry and I played music together for a long time.He was a good ol boy with a great sense of humor. And he loved playing steel guitar.

After his car wreck he could not carry his gear. So for several years I would pack his stuff and set it up for him. His health finally got so bad he could not pick anymore. The last few years of his life he stayed home and enjoyed his grandkids.

Jerry I'm gonna miss ya buddy :cry:

Sorry to hear that, Shane. Jerry and I have been friends for years and helped me a lot when I started pedal steel. We called each other every once in a while and visited. He will be missed. Jack
