AUBURN - Jerry "Muzz" Muzzillo, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, on his way to his favorite place, the Hershey swap meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with his dear friends.

Jerry was known to many as Muzz but we remember him as dad and grandpa.

You could find Muzz on a Sunday afternoon working on an old Auburn carburetor and the next day mixing nitro fuel for drag racing that he loved. In the later years he devoted his time to NATMUS, as you could find him working on an old car or truck.

Jerry married Judy Walker, the love of his life, on May 24, 2001, in Auburn.
