There are few folks that everyone seems to know but Jerry Gentry, affectionately known as “The Can Man” to locals, was one of those.
A true Russell County legend, Gentry, age 68, passed away at his home on Monday.
Over the years, Gentry logged a remarkable amount of hours and walked an untold amount of miles along Russell County roadways, cleaning up the roadsides of aluminum cans and making many friends along the way.
