James W. "Jim" Smith

Dear Geraldine (Jerrie), Lisa, Keith, and families, We want to let you all know how badly we feel over the death of Jim, the sad timing of it, and how it happened. We were the receivers of Jim's help and friendship many times when we would pull in to the trailer park at East Canyon Resort to enjoy a spot in our trailer. He would see us coming and jump right up and give us a hand or advice for hooking up. With Russ being our son-in-law and a nephew of Jim's we saw a lot of him when we were...

Geri,
I am sorry to hear about your husband. Both of you are great people. We enjoyed working with you at Alta View.
Our love and sympathy is with you.

Geri, Keith and Lisa,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. You are such great people. Curtis and I enjoyed knowing you when we lived in the Bennion 2nd ward. Also, Geri was one of the nurses who took care of Janae about 25 years ago when she was in the hospital. May you experience peace and comfort in the days ahead. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Smith Family:
We had the great opportunity to see Jim everyday as we walked our kids to school. We are so sorry for you loss and the loss that our whole neighborhood has experience by losing Jim. He was a great guy and was always looking out for ALL of our children and for that we are truly grateful. We sincerely hope that your family can get comfort from all the love that each of us had for Jim.

As Officers of Bennion Jr. High, we feel that we speak for the whole school when we say that we have all lost a great friend. We would like to express our thanks to Jim for all that he has done for us. He was a great guy and we will all miss him.

Dear Smith family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I did not know James personally, but I sure did enjoy seeing him every morning on my way to work over by Bennion Jr High. We would always wave to each other and he would sometimes stop the traffic so I could get out on to 2700 west. It has just not been the same since he is no longer there. My daughter sometimes crossed there. She said, “He was always so nice”. Saying, “ok kids, have a nice day” after they were safely across the...

Dear Friends,
We are so sorry for your loss! We understand how hard it is to lose someone close to you. I lost my Dad in February 2008. May God bless you all and may you be comforted.
