The Bradshaw family wishes to extend our sympathy for your loss. My dad, Johnnie Bradshaw Sr. played fiddle with Jerry in the early 70's. I had a chance to visit with Jerry about a year ago at his home in Clifton about playing a song of his on my radio show. Johnnie Bradshaw

Uncle Jerry had a special place in my heart. He missed my dad, Moody, as much as we did and he would call or write during those times of missing him. He believed family is important and never let us forget we were family. North and South were genuinely united. I will miss him and his stories and his voice which was alwys reminiscint of my dad. Rest in Peace Uncle Jerry...play your music in heaven.
