There was a lot more to Jerry Reed than being a costar in Smokey & The Bandit, the man will be missed.

 

One of my favorite songs is "Tuepelo Mississippi Flash"

 

This is a huge loss. Jerry Reed was an OK actor. He was a glimpse at Heaven on the six string. RIP.

 

Dammit.....

RIP Mr Reed

 

....hell of a geetar player. Remember watchin' him on The Glen Campbell show a lot. He will be greatly missed/fondly remembered.

LAME! Jerry was a great guitar picker, his were among my favorite songs. I liked his acting quite a bit as well, made lots of car movies.

Some may only know him as the cool cat that drove the rig in Smokey and the Bandit, but he was a great musician and a good guy.

 

Wow, what a loss.......RIP

That sucks !
RIP SNOWMAN !

 

sucks to hear this...RIP.

 

The best scene of Smokey and the Bandit, was right after the fight scene when he ran over all those bikes... I love that movie... Jerry Reed will be missed... prayers to his family...

 

When your Hot Your Hot one his best. Sad day>>>>.

 

Cledus Snow's Fred is one of the reasons we got our Elvis... We figured if Jerry could catch him in boots, we could catch one.

 

Well doesn't that fuckin suck! RIP Snowman

 

I've always enjoyed Jerry, both on records and the screen. He's given me many smiles and much laughter. Farewell my friend.

 

Man all the greats are slipping away. RIP Jerry, you will live on through music.

 

Keep 'em between the ditches Mr. Snowman. Over and out.

 

Sad news. He was one of my favorites. God rest ye Mr. Reed.

 

R.I.P. Jerry Reed.

 

Sad to here this. RIP Snowman, You will be missed

 

I guess Snowman is headed Northbound on this trip - RIP!

 

Sad to hear.... RIP Jerry

 

Man, that sucks. He was so funny, both in song and on the screen. Does anybody remember the song where he talks about smoking? That's a good one, too. I always loved "The Bird", "Amos Moses", and my favorite, "She Got the Gold Mine and I Got the Shaft" SAWN!!!! (Son, for you yankees...) He'll be missed.
