1939-2022
Gerald "Jerry" Smith, 82, of Springfield, died peacefully in his home on Sunday, September 4, 2022, and now rejoices in heaven with His Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Jerry was born at home on December 11, 1939, in Springfield, Ohio, to Russell and Emma Corbin Smith. He served four years in the United States Air Force as a Jet Engine Mechanic during the Vietnam War. He retired in 2005 from Benjamin Steel Company as Fleet Manager. He previously worked at Borden.
Jerry had a passion for woodworking in his home wood shop. He enjoyed and excelled at making wooden trucks, helicopters, and curio cabinets. He also loved to listen to gospel and bluegrass music. Jerry loved guitars, his truck, his tools, and his shop - but he loved God even more. He very much enjoyed serving at the Maiden Lane Church of God Outreach House. Jerry was a kind and generous man who loved God and loved people.
He is survived and will be missed by his wife of 28 years, Linda Smith; two sons, Randy (Vee) Smith and Russell (Vanessa) Smith; three daughters, Pam (Rodney) Sprugasci, Kristine Carcamo, and Jennifer (Paul) Hypes; 12 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren (plus one on the way); sister, Janet (Ralph) Pamer; brother, Ernest Smith; sisters-in-law, Carol Smith and Wanda Smith, and many nieces and nephews.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Emma Smith, as well as brothers, Roger L Smith and Dale E Smith; and sister-in-law, Birdus Faye Smith.
