Born June 13, 1939 in Philadelphia, he was a son of the late James F. Smyth, II, and Elizabeth (Riley) Vesci.
Jim had a great dry sense of humor, and made everyone he knew laugh. He was a very likeable guy. Holiday buffets were special, as he was an exceptional cook, and his parties were creative. Jim loved to entertain.
He was a father, a grandfather, a managing professional, and a fun and thoughtful husband who will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Along with his wife, Linda, James is survived by four children, Cheryl McKeown (Francis) of Richboro, James F. Smyth, IV of York, Shane Verna of Langhorne, and Jason Verna (Amber) of Levittown; six grandchildren, Victoria, Madison, Patrick, William, Francis, and Ava; four siblings, Kathy Pokropski (Dennis), Patricia Carr, Joseph Vesci, and Frank Vesci; and many nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to join the family at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, September 7, 2021 for a graveside service at Whitemarsh Memorial Park (Please wait for the family at the Bell Tower), 1169 Limekiln Pike, Ambler.
