J. Smith Obituary

With great sadness, family and friends announce that J. Bruce Smith, 66, died on Monday, October 29, 2018, after a long fight with prostate cancer. He passed away peacefully at home, taking flight on the autumn winds with the same dignity, courage and heart that he lived. Bruce was an accomplished attorney, a wonderful father, a great husband and lover, a good friend, a caring and committed brother and uncle, an esteemed member of the Bellingham community and one of the finest men one could ever hope to know. A celebration of Bruce's life will be held at 1:00 p.m. December 8 at Hillcrest Church, 1400 Larrabee Avenue, Bellingham. All are welcome to his memorial celebration and the reception following. Thank you to Hillcrest for the generous use of their facility. A full obituary and story of Bruce's life is available at molesfarewelltributes.com.

Bruce was my parent's attorney. He was always respectful and kind to them. They thought the world of him and appreciated his insight and good humor.
