Hello: This is Karen, Jerry's wife. I thank you for your condolences and thank others who have sent theirs. Jerry did indeed work very hard for the OBC. Even though he had a very bad back he hauled, setup and ran the sound for all the shows. He hosted this website free of charge. And totally supported this club. That is why I was deeply hurt when I discovered that Common Tyme was not allowed to pay tribute to him like they would have liked to. I do want to thank our friends of High Ground for allowing Common Tyme a little of their time. Jerry and I made many very good friends through bluegrass. He loved this music and the guys in his band. I love you guys and thank you for your support.
