RIP, Jerry. I have to admit, I wouldn't have known who this gentleman was if I didn't read your link.

Ah man...sad.
I admit I was not TOO familiar with him other than his time on the Muppet Show and a guest animated stint on Scooby Doo. He led the scooby gang to his whereabouts by way of singing a country song or something. |

He died of emphysema. I guess the "Smokey" finally got to him.
RIP, Jerry.

Wow, we lost a great one here. Jerry Reed was one of my favourite country singers of all time.
I still love the grin he gave when he portrayed The Snowman in Smokey and The Bandit, especially when the Snowman drove his rig over the bikers bikes. I heard it said once that his role in that movie pretty much defined who he was, and that character was a pretty good ole boy. R.I.P. Jerry, we loved you |

If Burt Reynolds suddenly died, they could race across heaven to smuggle in Coors beer.
I could not begin to guess how many times I watched Bandit. My favorite quote was from Gleason. When I get home I'm gonna punch your mama right in the mouth, because there's no way you came from my loins! |

I remember him from "Smokey and the Bandit," but I mostly remember him as the meanie in "Gator." I liked the movie a lot, but then, I was pretty young. I don't know how it would hold up these days.
RIP, Jerry. |

This should've been in the Best Songs I've Ever Heard thread, because that's what it is.
One of my all time favorites
RIP Jerry Reed.
