Not sure what to say?

I met Jerry in Hollywood, CA on April 14, 1969. He told me about a small home church where I could get a free meal. I went that night and my life changed forever, by accepting Jesus as my savior. God used Jerry and I am forever thankful.

My heart and prayers for all. He is a loved man.....

I always admired Jerry. I was impressed with his musical capabilities and his carpentry skills. I always liked spending time with him and enjoyed his friendship. Jerry was loved by many and will be missed, rest in peace Jerry, you deserve it! Jim Griffin

Wow , I've known Him since 1970
We became friends. It was an interesting time in our lives and I enjoyed seeing him playing guitar and singing. Him and I were roofers for a time and we had such good times. One day on the hot Arkansas heat on a roof we saw the clouds coming and he yelled out , come on rain.
When it was to cold to roof we would watch the gong show and we would laugh.
We would go to Wendy's to get coffee because it was the only place to get coffee for a nickel...

An inspiration to me both in music and carpentry. Worked in L.A. and Arkansas together. Loved him.

We first met in West Hollywood, 1970It’s hard to believe it has been so long ago. Rest in peace brother.

Jerry just chilling doing what he loved
