Jimmy Smith Obituary
Survived by his 4 children, and numerous grandchildren in Scotland, his brothers, Billy, Bobby, Stephen, and Brian, sister, Dorothy, their families, many nieces, nephews and friends.
His happy go lucky nature, steady stream of jokes and perpetual smile, infected all those around him. He lived his life the way he played his banjo… his way, with enthusiasm and gusto and often joked that he would have taken better care of himself, had he known, he would live so long. Known for suddenly breaking into a chorus, his version of course, of Pavarotti's Pagliacci, Lord bless anyone close by! Their ears would never be the same again. Blessed with a set of lungs that could outdo Big Ben, and a heart as big as Ben Nevis, he will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew him.
As his little 2 year old great niece, solemnly said, while looking out the window a few days after he passed on July 30th: "Uncle Jimmy's home – Uncle Jimmy's home". And home he is. Reunited with his beloved Annie.
A time to reflect, look through the lens of his life, share happy memories, anecdotes, and toast his long awaited journey to reconnect with, "his Annie", will be held in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday, September 30th from 1 – 5 pm. If you would like to attend or share a memory or photo via email, please contact me: [email protected]

When I would call my uncle jimmy up, I would always call him pretending to be Pizza Hut calling and he would ask for some pepperoni pizza lol. I will miss him a lot and his bantering, his laughter and his sense of humour. Till we meet again with your homemade Kahlúa
Rest easy old man
