My current music business teacher was in Steelers Wheel with him, I next have him on Thursday, hope he's not too down.
RIP
Edit: Infact, I just checked his facebook and he had this to say if anyone is interested;
Obituary
It is very sad that Gerry has passed. He had a long hard battle with alcoholism.
Gerry was a consummate craftsman and gave a lot to the music world.
He leaves a brilliant legacy as a songwriter , so in his life he achieved
that. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his daughter Martha , his granddaughter Celia and brother Jim.
