Known by many as the fellow who really knew and worked on LC Smiths for years. Passed this week after being placed in Hospice. Jerry was also the founder and a member of the Crandall Creek Band who played some outstanding Blue Grass. He worked on a few of my guns over the years. I'll miss the conversations. Loved to fish with the grandkids, work on shotguns and play the Guitar. https://crandallcreek.com/abouthttps://lcsmithguns.com/

Sad to hear. I didn't know him personally, but I bought two Syracuse Lefevers from him, and he invited me to his shop to examine another. We had a nice conversation about doubles. He was a straight shooter, and had an excellent reputation when it came to gunsmithing on L.C. Smiths and other SxS guns.

Jerry fought cancer for five years before it bested him. Quite a warrior.
May he rest in peace.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

May he rest in peace. I talked to him a few years ago and he thought he had beat it. Cancer is tough. Lost my MIL to Liver cancer some years ago and it was brutal.

Terrible and sad news, a knowledgeable man - we traded thoughts and words in email and on phone, he knew his stuff . Travel light Jerry

Maybe more than three decades ago, it was Jerry who had the Lard patent single trigger figured out. I did not know anyone else, at that time, who could routinely be trusted to fix those triggers.

Jerry fixed several trouble some single triggers for me as well as some wood work.
I did a lot of part trading with him.
It was about a year ago we chatted and I purchased a Bluegrass CD from him.
RIP MY FRIEND.

When it came to Hunter One Triggers, Jerry was THE man.
