Jerry was always one of my Best Friends always In havertown & his loving Family. GOD BLESS THEM ALL

I will always cherish the many memories I have of my "Uncle" Jerry!! So many good times and laughs. He was definitely one of a kind and even though I hadn't seen him in years, I will miss him. I hope that all of the great memories that you all have will bring you comfort. I am sure that he and my dad, and too many others, are having an incredible reunion!!!

Lots of love,

Suzanne

Josephine: I am in Aruba and cannot attend Gerry's service. Obviously he had many friends who loved him from the postings I see here. I will miss his laugh at the SIC VFW and his harrassing me at the Pines to screw up my allready pathetic Golf game. I would like to extend my condolences and wish you the best. I look forward to seeing you biking on the Promenade this Spring. Best Wishes to your family. Ray Lombardi Sea Isle City

Gerry Smyth was our ambassador to Harrisburg. When he boarded the train at Paoli, all the "Ardmorans" would cheer.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Smyth Family. I can recall riding the 4:50AM Keystone Special to Hbg back in the early 1970's. You could hear Jerry's laugh 50 yards away. Always the last of us to board. I never could figure out wether it was the job, time of AM or their personalities. But Jerry booming laugh & big smile even made those miserable collegues smile. Now, your get to ride the special train w/Tony Bilosi, Larry, Earl & Russell among others. Dewey has been waiting for you, to...

The VFW Post Golf League will certainly be missing Big Jer holding court on the first tee every Thursday. His memory will last forever.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Rest in peace Mr. Smyth and prayers of strength to your family!
