Jerry Anderson (Maurice's brother)

Post by Jeff Harbour »

I saw a facebook post yesterday from Kyle Bennett (MSA) stating that Maurice Anderson's brother Jerry has died. Thought it would be a good idea to have it posted here as well.

Jerry showed me through the MSA facilities in 1975. He sure was a nice and pleasant person to be around.

I'm sorry to hear about his passing. He was the first person I looked up at the Dallas show. I had known him since the mid 70's. He was a very nice person and I will miss him.

Makes me feel old now with Jerry gone.

I worked for Reese at the MSA factory back in the early 70s. I did not work on steels but helped build them as a machinist. Reese ran the place back then and Bud Carter also worked there as a machinist. I do not recall the exact year. I had been working as an aircraft machinist in Ca and like an idiot I got back into the music biz.
I miss all the old timers that have passed on.

Jerry was a great guy that I will miss very much. Won't be the same at the MSA room without him.

Sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. Very nice man, more of the business mind to the old MSA company while Reece was the PR demo man. RIP.
