Obituary

Randall “Randy” Scott Smith, 75, of Whitman, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Brockton Hospital.

Randy was born on April 10, 1950, in Alpena, Michigan, the son of the late Donald and Ruthelma (Dawe) Smith. He was one of four siblings. After graduating from Midland High School, Randy enlisted in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged in 1970 after having proudly served his country during the Vietnam War.

Following his military service, he pursued higher education at Delta College University Center in Saginaw, Michigan, where he studied Radiologic Technology and Business Management.

Randy enjoyed a successful career in Radiologic Technology, working in various hospitals throughout his life. He concluded his professional journey at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton.

A passionate sports fan, Randy rooted for both Boston and Detroit football teams and enjoyed following other sports as well. He especially cherished his annual hunting trips to Michigan, where he found great success and enjoyment. Randy also volunteered as a boy scout leader. He was the troop leader of Troop 22, where he found tremendous joy leading his troop. In his later years, he loved spending time golfing with friends. Randy was also known for his exceptional cooking skills—a gift his family will deeply miss.

Randy is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Ellen (Callahan) Smith, and their beloved son, Ryan Smith. He is also survived by his brothers, Martin Smith and Charles “Chuck” Smith, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his son Evan Smith and his brother Jim Smith.
