I know Jerry will be missed. I still have fond memories of our visit to. California as a child and we spent some time with all of you. Dad, George Mounts, was always proud of his cousin Jerry and all that he had accomplished. Our family would faithfully watch Hee Haw weekly just to watch Jerry and Susan perform. Thank you for the memories. May God's peace be with all of you during this time.

Jerry was a wonderful friend and the best drummer that a musician could have in their band. He always made us laugh with all the crazy stories that he would tell while driving to gigs.
We are forever grateful to have know him and Susan both. Our prayers are with your family. He will surely be missed. Rest in peace our dear friend.
