I knew Jerry long time he was always fun to be around I got to be buddies with him and crazy Freddie as a young teenager. I helped them unload trucks at Malone and Hyde up by Sikeston. We always had fun together one day we were out by front gate and out of nowhere Jerry scooped me up and body slammed me on the hood of some dudes Cadillac just horsing around. He and Freddie's nickname for me was Blondie. I will always remember the times we hung out. All the wrestling matches we went to with them was great times. Rip Dr. Watson.
