Jerry Reed, actor, guitar legend, and Scooby Doo Guest Star has passed away. He was 71.

Aside from his Scooby Doo appearance, most people may remember him from  his role as the Snowman (his CB handle) in “Smokey and the Bandit”.

Learning to play guitar at age 8, on a cheap guitar, he later dropped out of high school to go on tour with Ernest Tubb and Faron Young. He mastered the instrument.

He was a great talent in film, television, and music.

He’s one of the musicians I listen to most when I’m animating. He’ll be missed.
