Gerald Edward Smals

Jane and Timothy, so sorry for your loss. Sara and I send our condolences.
When I heard of Gerry’s passing, my first thought was of his smile and his laugh. We shared some good times years ago and I enjoyed working with Gerry, he will truly be missed.
Time will heal the heart but his memories will last us a life time.

Jerry was one of my salesmen when i first got into mgmt. He was always professional and did a great job. We worked together again when I started managing Porters Neck Harris Teeter until his retirement. He was always a pleasure to work with and speak to and will certainly be missed by all

Jerry will always remain special to me. He had a way with words that would make me smile or make me laugh. His sense of humor could brighten your day. We shared the travel buggood people, good wine, good food!

Dear Jane and Tim, I'm saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. He accomplished many things, but the love you three shared was the most important of all in his heart. Sending prayers of healing to your family.

My deepest condolences to the family. I met Jerry in 1991 when I joined Mutual Distributing. I knew Jerry from his early days until he retired from the industry. He ran the race.

After he retired I saw him often. Retirement suited him well and he deserved every minute of it. Jerry was one of...

I knew Jerry only briefly through his wife, Jane. We all volunteered at the Church World Service Immigrant Resettlement organization. He was a kind, dedicated man and I regret not getting to know him better. My thoughts are with Jane and his family and hoping peace comes to all who mourn Jerry's passing

Rip Jerry a friend and coworker from a long time ago when we were young

Jerry had a kind soul and a generous heart. He was quick to find a bit of humor in any situation and would warmly share that observation, accompanied with his mischievous grin, as if it was just the two of you who were in on this little joke together. He loved a good laugh, a good song, a good whiskey and a good cigar. But most of all it was plain to everyone that Jerry loved Jane and Tim more than anything else in this world. We will miss him greatly.
