Billy Greene Smith
Billy Greene Smith
BERLIN — Billy Greene (B.G.) Smith, 78, of Berlin went home to be with the Lord on Jan. 19, 2014.
He was born Sept. 7, 1935 in Sylacauga, Ala. to the late John Reid and Lillian Greene Smith. At a very early age, the family moved to Dorchester County where he grew up in the Hurlock area and was proud to claim Puckum as home. He served in the United States Air Force and was a member of Berlin American Legion 123.
B.G., his wife and children moved to Berlin in 1963 when he accepted a position with Taylor Bank where he worked for many years. Later, he owned and operated Sea Isle motel until retirement. He and his wife raised their sons on the family farm where they have lived for 45 years.

He was a member of the Masonic Order for 53 years and a proud member of Berlin Evergreen Lodge 153.

He loved to fellowship over food, watch the news and spend his days with his beloved wife (who was also his high school sweetheart). He was the kind of man that lit up a room when he walked in it, and to those he loved he was a strong encourager to work hard, stay true to character and to serve the Lord. In all that he did, he pointed to Jesus as the provider and protector of his life.
