Jerry Edward Grogan

I was thinking about Jerry just the other day. He once told my brother, who has walked during a deep conversation Jerry and I were having, that there´s no way way he could understand what we were saying because "his teeth were too white" . Somehow it made perfect sense. I miss the man. Fly on brother.

Every time anything hippo appears, my wife and I take it as a sign you are looking down on us and we smile. Thinking of you always and our Bus 5 Ozzfest memories. Mad Hippo Love my Brother.

Dear Jim and the Grogan families;
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Do not hesitate to call if we can be of any assistance.

I knew Jerry when we were both freshman at WVU in 1983-84. I haven't spoken to him since then, but thought of him often. In this age of internet information I decided to Google him and was shocked and saddened to hear of his passion. Every time I hear CSNY Deja Vu I thought of him and will continue to do so.

Jerry was one of the most unique people I have ever known. You couldn't help but like him. His stories, his laughter, his love for music - he was so full of life. Just thinking about him makes me smile. He has always been, and forever will be linked in my mind to SRV. Whenever I hear that unmistakable tone, on which Jerry could (and would) wax philosophically for hours, I think of Jerry's smiling face. You will be missed, my brother.

I hope someone can tell me if and when and...

It saddens me to just find out about the passing of a friend . Jerry inspired me with his amazing personality , it was larger than life . On my worst days growing up , he always made me smile . I met Jerry because of a common bond which was a love for Blues Music , more specific the love of SRV and Jimi Hendrix . He was the kind of guy that if he couldn't find me , he would call my mom just to make her laugh , if only for an hour or so . The only solace i take in all this is the fact that...

Jerry was always a ray of sunshine in the
steaming pile of the music biz, tho I
had not seen him in some time I will
always remember his smile and positive
outlook. I still have his # in my ph.
God Bless his family!

Thank you Jerry for our long conversations on Blues Music & Blues guitarist in the 90's. I'll never forget the time we talked about Stevie Ray & Double Trouble opening for Tha' Stones
at Wembley Stadium in London. The whole crowd was BOOing & throwing water bottles at him and the band. Stevie pulled down his wide brim hat to let the crowd know he wasn't goin anywhere. HA! Jerry when you told me the crowd turned by the 3rd song and then was chanting his name at the end of the set..WOW!...

Jerry was "one of a kind" in the best sense of the term. Let all who miss him take some comfort that there are so many of us.
