He was one of my favorite entertainers. A very funny funny guy. And turn around and sing something that brought a tear to the eye. Loved his style.
He will be missed.

Yes he will be missed. Never was into country music but 'Smokey and the Bandit' was and is one of my favorites. God rest Jerry and bless his family.
