To The Landreth Family
I was saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. I graduated from Marion Senior High School with Jerry in 1968. He was instrumental in the purchase of my first Martin Guitar in 1967. We briefly played and sang in a Folk Group and also a Rock Band at the school. He was one of the best guitar players I have ever been around, he could hear a song once and then play it. We attended Boy's State together and I have wonderful memories of times spent with him. I lost track after graduation and missed seeing him at the Class of 68 Reunions. You are in our prayer.

Mrs. Landreth
I am sorry for your loss. Jerry was a very great guy to work with. I worked with Jerry at Electro Tec and at Moog. He made me smile all the time even when I was having a bad day or in a bad mood. I will miss Jerry's jokes. I will also miss hearing him when he comes in the door whistling. You will be in my prayers.
