diablopilot 2 #1 July 30, 2008 From the Ranch newsletter: QuoteHello my friends... Sometimes when one doesn't quite have the words, the easy way is to just say it: With deep sadness and so much regret, I am very very sorry to announce that Jerry Piccola, our beloved Maggot, passed away today. Never put off visiting those you want to simply because there will be time later..... He will be missed. -jp- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFWAJG 4 #2 July 30, 2008 I was so afraid this would happen. When everyone on the Ranch forum was joking(months's ago) about Maggot going in on a base jump, I just had this awful feeling that it would manifest itself in some way. Blue skies Maggot. I can't help but chuckle as I think about the video of you tasering Ralph the beast. You entertained so many of us Ranch Hands. Rest peacefully dear.

jgladish 0 #12 August 1, 2008 I'm pretty sure Maggot & crew took some pics of some tagged objects, It would be nice to start a BASE NINJA album or thread. I still can't get him out of my head; starring at a cute girl, explaining in detail how he wanted to just wrap it! I'm scarred forever!!!!! R.I.P. Maggot J.C's got you now. See ya up there!!!

RMURRAY 1 #13 August 2, 2008 so sad to hear this. I guess that is Jerry on the (classic) 2001 swoop nats video at the beginning. Sounds like a seriously funny guy! R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittyblood 0 #14 August 8, 2008 Maggot was one of the first few people I met when I learned to jump at the Ranch. He was always entertaining and fun to have around. He will be missed.Blue Skies, Land Soft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airgump 1 #15 August 13, 2008 i remember 4th of july 2004 at the Ranch, everyone was partying hard at the bonfire and maggot drives up in his pickup truck, jumps out, and starts digging through the tool box in the back of his truck. since it was dark, and he could see inside his tool box, his solution was so maggotesk........he lit up a road flare and sure enough found his fireworks....and so did the flare!! it was several minutes before it was safe to approach his truck, and the crowd went wild!!! brah, going to miss ya and the good times that seem to always be surrounding you. blues, gump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airsport 0 #16 April 15, 2009 I met Maggot while doing an NSL 4 way thing in Atlanta. It was quickly obvious that he needed a "handler." Dinner was at a historic "flour mill" or something like that. Nice family owned place with many antiques. At one point Maggot returns wearing a 100 year old wed all thought it was funny. The owners were white as a ghosts. Sad to trip over this and see he is gone. He was one of the most memorable characters I've met. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
