PSG Robert G. Smith (U.S. Army retired) Robert G Smith lost his final battle with death due to numerous ongoing illnesses at the age of 89, after a major surgery, and he crossed the River Jordan into the arms of God in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 5th. He leaves behind his wife, Geraldine A. Smith, and his three sons, Kevin, Sean and Justin, who are all from Murfreesboro, TN. He also leaves his grandchildren, Kelli Smith Mullen, Jessica Mandrell, and Cameron Smith, as well as five great - grandchildren. Other survivors include Lavona Hoover (sister) and Jack Smith (brother), both from Colorado, and numerous nieces and nephews. Dad loved God, his family and this America of Ours he served so well, and he fought the good fight, surviving the Depression, the Dust Bowl years and Black Sunday, before joining the U.S. Army at age 17 during WWII. He survived combat duty during WWII and the Korean War, subsequently receiving numerous awards and commendations including the Bronze Star with the "V" for Valor and a recommendation for the Silver Star, afterwards continuing in his service by training soldiers during the Vietnam War and recruiting until he retired after a 24 year long military career. Dad was both saddened and angered to see that some of the very things he and millions of other Americans had fought against during WWII were now being forced upon America by the Democratic Party and the progressives of the nation. He had hoped to live long enough to make the 2016 election, so he could cast his vote towards the restoration of constitutional governance, traditional American principles and values and the American Heritage, and he was forever stating that he believed Lt Colonel Allen West would make an excellent President. Robert (Bob) was loved by many. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. Dad left his body to Meharry Medical Center to further medical research. Visitation will be Friday at Woodfin Memorial Chapel Murfreesboro,Tennessee from 5:00pm until time of service at 7:00pm. Condolences and memories maybe shared with the family at www.woodfinchapel.com
