On July 15, 2010 Jerry Smith passed away peacefully in Phoenix, AZ at the age of 83. He will be dearly missed by his wife Joan, children Caron (Jan), Deb (Bob), Dave (Jen), Jo, Marcus (Karen), Myrna (Bill) and
son-in-law Dave (Karen). Also grandchildren Kala (Casey), Tait (Pearl), Laura, Tiffany (Nova), Meryl (Dave), Emma (Derek), Max, Andrea, Rob, Sadie, Sydney, Jackie, Peter “PJ” and great-grandchild Ara, as well as many family members and friends. He was predeceased by his mother Henny August, his daughter Janet, stepson Peter and grandson Graeme. Jerry was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing, gardening and bird watching – especially ‘his’ hummingbirds. Everyone knew of his hockey playing history and his love and knowledge of the game. He was the ultimate gentleman who cared deeply about his family and friends. Visitation will be from 6:00-8:00 P.M., Thursday, July 22, 2010 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E.
