John Randolph Smelser

I have such fond memories of John, his father and brothers. So many times during my 40 year career, I was saved by this group of magicians. They could solve any problem, fix anything and always with a good sense of humor about the issue at hand. They were always there when you needed them. It was such a pleasure to watch them work, and I always took their advice on what was needed in the branches I supported.

Prayers for the grieving family

Grief is so hard, but holding and sharing special memories really can help us cope some. Sending to all of my Cousins; Bambi, Tina, Adam, and all of the rest of Johns closest Family Memebers, Our Love and Our Prayers. Know that you all are truly in Our Hearts and We love All of You today and always.
One thing for sure is that you can take comfort knowing John is with Our Lord and Savior and he is also with All of Our Families watching over All of Us.
Sincerely, Cous Dawn and Lou and the Rest of My Families
Sending Our
Heartfelt Sympathy ♥

Bambi and family, so sorry for your loss. John was a good friend and I know he loved the Lord and served Him in so many ways. Prayers and love for all of you.

Joyce Dennis and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of your brother John. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to the family. God Bless. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

John was always friendly and had a good sense of humor. Remember him lending me his VHS camcorder. He also recorded our wedding in 1991. God bless Bambi and family.

Although I only knew you a short time. I just wanted to thank you for raising such a wonderful and loving daughter. Rest in peace John

We are so sorry for your loss. You all are in our prayers.
Love,
Patty & Michele

John and I shared an office at the old M&T warehouse in Hollins Ferry. His desk was across from mine. Although we weren't very close off the job, Jon and I would swap jokes and stories across the room every morning. John was fun to be around and his stories about his brothers were always hilarious. Its been quite some time since I last saw John. I periodically have thought about the memories of him in the time that has passed by.

So long my friend. May Jesus accept your soul with waiting arms.
