Bob Smith Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born to the late William McKinley and Carrie Pearl Smith, Franklin spent his life following in his father's footsteps, forging a career as a waterman fishing, crabbing, and oystering.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman, yet his greatest passion was that of father, grandfather and friend.
He was preceded in death by his siblings, Paul, Jim, Jack, Indie, Catherine, Mildred, Susie, Rebecca, and Billy.
Franklin is survived by his brother Elias "Lossie" Smith (Gloria), his sister Viola "Mickey" Williams, his three children, Billy Smith (Dori), Chris Smith (Andrew), and Michelle Seaford (Tommy), and his six grandchildren, Cody, Colton, Michael, Brandon, Avery, and Thatcher.
The family will receive friends at Hogg Funeral Home on Monday, November 4, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. A graveside service, officiated by Reverend Rita Staul, will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery off of Robins Neck Road in Naxera on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Services are under the direction of Hogg Funeral Home.
