Charles William (Bill) Smith

Charles William (Bill) Smith Passed away October 8 at Logan Regional Hospital. He was born December 15, 1930 in Logan, Utah to Mary Ellen Reynolds and Andrew Smith.
He married the love of his life Peggy Mae Benson on November 5, 1954, in the Logan Temple for time and all eternity. From this joyous union came four children; Reese (Jenny) Smith of Logan, Christine (deceased), David Lynn (deceased) and Robert (Kristi) Smith of Logan. Bill also had four grandchildren whom he adored; Jeffery, Shayna, Tanner and McKaley.
Bill was employed by Ogden Defense Depot for the first five years of their marriage. Soon after that he worked for Utah State University in the Housing Department, where he received many awards for his outstanding performance and perfect attendance. He retired after 33 years of service.
Bill was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and held many positions; a Home Teacher, Sunday School President, High Priest where he greeted and loved his fellow brothers. Each Sunday he would look forward to filling his pocket full of smarties, where the children of the ward would seek him out, and he would give them a roll of smarties in exchange for a great big hug!
He was an avid outdoors man where he loved to go hunting and fishing with his boys. After he retired in 1995 his love for fishing continued as he had more time to enjoy spending time with Lee and his boat (Thank you Lee!) We always enjoyed hearing his fish tales, especially about the ones that got away!
He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Smith and Mary Ellen Reynolds, his daughter Christine, and his son David Lynn, his brother John Andrew (Jack) Smith, his sisters, Marianne Robinette and Margret Pilkington. Bill was greatly loved and will be missed by family and friends.

The viewing will be held on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 from 6-8 pm at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 East Center Street.
Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, October 12 at 10:00 am at the Allen-Hall Mortuary Chapel, with a viewing an hour prior to the services. Interment services will be held at the Logan City Cemetery
We would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Hirst for years of care, Dr. Hampton, Dr. Strong, and the hospital staff. Also the many members of his ward that showed compassion and love toward him. We love and appreciate you, and all that you have done.
