Dear Linda, Jim, Cathy and Ben,
We are very sorry to hear about Jerry. He was a very wonderful man. We can not count the number of times he has helped us and our family members on a personal level. We have fond memories of the days at Asheville Speedway the racing years. Both Jerry and Jim have been a great part of our daily lives here at Smokey Mountain Auto Service also. He will be dearly missed.

Very sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. He was a encouraging man to all those who raced ‘down on the river’ and he will be missed greatly
I will always love you, forever..
I only knew Jerry for what seems like a very short time, but in that time I found out real quick he was a man of integrity and a very true friend. I know he will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, I know I am very sorry he has gone. My heart goes out to Linda, Cathy, Ben and especially Jim. Jim I know was not just a brother to Jerry but much much more than that, I don’t think I have ever witnessed two brothers closer than those two. May God bless and guide you thru this terrible time and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jim and family, Jerry will sure be missed, Just remembering all the laughs and good times we had together. I can still see him coming through Square D with Conley Fender. My Prayers are with you and family. May God Bless you all.

So sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. He was a kind and gentle man to all he knew. Through the years I knew him, positive comments from friends and business acquaintances was a norm. I enjoyed talking and conversing with Jerry. He was like a teacher, I would always walk away richer in knowledge. Jerry always had time for you and was glad to help you in anyway he could. He was a very giving person to anyone in need.
Lynn, Veronica, and I are happy to say we are thankful for the years we knew him. He will certainly be missed by us. Thanks for your friendship Jerry!
