Feb. 27, 1947 — June 14, 2014

Harry passed away peacefully with his family by his side on June 14th after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Harry was born Feb. 27th, 1947, to Harlon and Ethel Smith in Niles. He was the oldest of four children. He had a brother, Rodger and two sisters, Christina and June. He graduated from Niles High School in May 1965 and enlisted in the Air Force in April 1966. He then served four years as an aircraft mechanic with a tour in Vietnam. His final destination was Mtn. Home AFB, where he met and married Linda Goodwin of Boise.

Together they had one son, Jake. After Linda passed, Harry married Barbara Crawford of Boise. Together they had two daughters, Andi and Courtney.

Harry was a devoted husband and father. He was very involved in all of his family’s activities and somehow found time for his own. Throughout his years he enjoyed softball, basketball, bowling, golf, four-wheeling and racing at Meridian Speedway, The Super Oval and Firebird Raceway.

Harry worked for Boise City Equipment Services as a heavy-duty mechanic. He retired in March 2012 after 24 years of service.

Harry is survived by his wife, Barbara; son, Jake (Staci); daughters, Andi (Cody) and Courtney (Chris); two grandsons, Chance and Cash all of Boise, Idaho; his mother, Ethel and sister June of Niles; brother, Rodger (Sandi) of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and sister, Christina of Albany, Georgia.

His wife, Linda and father, Harlon, preceded him in death.

Services will be held at 3 p.m. June 26th, 2014, at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery. Reception will follow at Veterans Memorial Park from 5 to 7 p.m.

We would like to thank MSTI & St. Lukes Hospice for all of their care and support.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial contributions be made in Harry’s name to: Make-A-Wish or the Wounded Warriors Project.
