JONESPORT – An invitation was sent, accepted and responded to a very long time ago and Herbert Leon Smith, a lifetime resident of West Jonesport, quietly accepted the keys to his new home on the morning of April 6, 2013. Herbert first arrived at the home of Raymond O. and A. Louise (Woodward) Smith April 10, 1943.
As a young boy, he overcame the complications of an accident and began his 65 year fishing career. He graduated from Jonesport High School in 1961 and a year later married his wife of 50 years, Linda M. (Briggs) Smith. Herbert was known for his quick wit and dry humor with a twist of sarcasm. He was a faithful member of Jonesport United Pentecostal Church and served as a board member for several years. He served many years as a Moosabec Community School Distric trustee board member. He was a partner in the family business, Smith's Lobster. He and Linda provided adult foster care services in their home for many years and opened their home to the "3/4 Group" meetings on a monthly basis.
He was welcomed to his eternal home by his parents; son, Dwayne A. Smith; grandchild, Cameron I. Farris; and many other loved ones. His change of address leaves a void in the lives of his wife; daughters, Tonia and husband, Milton Merchant, Wanita Smith and Julie and husband, Shane Farris, all of Jonesport; grandchildren, David and wife, Kaitlin Merchant, M. Mathew Merchant, Luke and companion, Danielle, Jodi Smith, Joanna and husband, Ryan Geel and S. Cameron Farris; and great-grandchildren, Uriah Merchant, Heather and Logan Smith, Emery Merchant and Caleb Geel. Also, feeling his absence will be his siblings, William and wife, Ruth Smith, Ralph and wife, Joyce Smith, Jean and husband, William Lee Guptill and the Rev. David and wife, Donna Smith; his church family; and dear friends and fellow fishermen.
Burial will be at the family plot in Wescogus Cemetery, Addison. (Bangor Daily News 4/8/2013)
