OBITUARIES - PART 1

RE: The Passing of Edward Patrick Smith Jr., DPM

 

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Dr. Edward Patrick Smith, Jr., age 75, on April 5th, 2026. Ed received his doctorate from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. In 1980, Ed, his wife Claudia and their first child, Meghan, moved to Springfield, VT due to a shared love of the mountains and to begin his podiatry practice.

 

Dr. Edward Smith, Jr.

 

Ed proudly gained surgical privileges at Springfield Hospital, the first podiatrist in Vermont to do so. He served as president of the Vermont Podiatric Medical Board for several terms, as well as holding other executive positions within the organization over the years. Ed was a member of OPEIU (Office and Professional Employees International Union), Local 45. He, working along with VPMA and OPEIU, was instrumental in getting the scope of medical practice expanded for podiatrists in Vermont.
