Carl Higham Smith
August 22, 1946 - January 8, 2016
Carl Higham Smith, beloved husband, father and grandfather died peacefully on Friday, January 8, 2016. Carl was the youngest of three children born to George and Claire Smith of Salt Lake City. Carl graduated from South High School in 1965 and entered the plumbing trade as an apprentice at Higham Hilton Plumbing. Upon graduation as a journeyman he worked for several major construction firms but found a home at CCI Mechanical where he retired after 34 years of service. He served in a number of roles in the local plumbers and credit unions. During his career he was involved in the construction of many prominent buildings throughout the city. He honorably served in the US Army Reserves during the early 70's. In his free time he enjoyed wood working and carving, gardening and home improvement projects. He is survived by his wife of 46 years Bonnie Smith; son Bill and daughter-in- law Mary Smith of Carlsbad, CA; and grandchildren Katrina and Connor.
To respect his wishes no funeral services will be held. A gathering of friends and family will be arranged at a later date.

Bonnie, we've known you and Carl for many years, from the early Army years and even though we haven't been good at keeping in touch, you have been in our thoughts. Don ran in to Carl several times on the job over the years and every time we go down 900 East and pass your street, we think of all the fun times and laughs we had! He will be missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to the Smith family. May the promises found in God's word the Bible bring comfort to your hearts. At John 5:28-29 it is promised "...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." and at Psalms it is promised "...the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." These promises are assured by God's love for us. May his mercy be upon your family in your hour of need.

I worked with Carl for many of the 34 years he was at CCI Mechanical Inc. Carl was the General Foreman / Foreman for the plumbers and fitters on many of my projects, his leadership was a key ingredient in the success of not only these projects but of CCI. Carl not only cared for his men but he cared about the success of CCI. He came to work every day with a smile on his face and a little mischief in his eye. It was truly my pleasure to work with him. My condolences to you and your family.

I met Mr Smith when he visited Bill in graduate school, I remember he was a great guy to have a beer with and was very proud of his son Bill and his family. With sympathy-

We had several mutual friends after high school, the times we had then. I remember many of the fun cars and general having a great time. Carl was there, his deep voice and fun loving added so much. I saw him many years back, we laughed about the fun of the good old days, thanks old friend for those...
