That is so sad, I really liked him. I thought he was who made the Smokey movies what they were. I also liked him in Convoy. RIP Jerry.

What a wonderful person he was! I loved his song "The Bird" and he had much more character than his co-star Burt Reynolds,, without Snowman the Bandit would have been nothing.

I ran into him in an airport about 25 years ago. All I can think of is "When You're Hot, You're Hot...."
