State Sen. J. Verne Smith laid to rest in Greer
By Thomas C. Hanson
GREER—State Sen. J. Verne Smith, who died Dec. 17, was laid to rest in Mountain View Cemetery after funeral services at First Presbyterian Church in Greer.
Smith served in the state senate from 1973 until he resigned his seat for health reasons earlier this year. After having spent most of his elected career as a Democrat, he switched parties in 2001, giving Republicans control of the state senate for the first time since Reconstruction.
U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis told me that Smith “was a role model for many of us. He was an effective public servant. He was also pleasant to be with, had a great sense of humor, and had an ability to get things done. You can’t ask for more than that.”
“We all should try to emulate the way he related to people,” Sen. Lindsey Graham told me. “Everybody, regardless of their position in life, from the company owner to the janitor, felt that they could go talk to Verne Smith, and that he would take their concerns seriously.”
“You didn’t need any spin master to tell you what he had said,” Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston), told me. “You understood it. He was blunt, he was vociferous when he needed to be.” McConnell said he knew that Smith and his wife, Jean, who died 29 days before him, were together now.
