Harlin Delos Smith Jr.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.ChapeloftheHills-Auburn.com for the Smith family.

On March 20th at about 1:15 a.m. my Dad passed away. He was Harlin Smith, age 93. Above all other things he was an awesome Dad, Husband and Son. A very loving and forgiving man. He was a Photographer for a Big City Newspaper for almost all of his working life, he had many titles from that career. He was very active in his community, he and my Mom helped with 4 other couples to create a Volunteer Fire Department in our then small new community. He served many years in the capacity of Firefighter and then several years as the Fire Chief. Always doing great work and outstanding community service. When he retired officially from the Fire Department he became their photo journalist to the media and community. He served numerous terms of office with their county Mosquito Abatement Board, several terms on the County Grand Jury and was a Voter Polling Station Coordinator. And numerous other positions for the city of Rocklin and county of Placer. His heart was always open for any way to help all. He leaves behind his wife of 63 years, 3 children, 6 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. He was proceeded in death by his parents, 1 child and 1 grandchild. May You Rest in Peace Dad, you are going to be very missed by us all❤️
