I only had the privilege of knowing him a couple years, but oh what a privilege it was. He and his family welcomed me into his home as though I had been there forever. His infectious smile and laughter brought warmth to my heart. Oh how tickled he would be when I gave Cliff the what for. He will be greatly missed.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of this wonderful and sweet man. My good memories sustain the entire Smith family on this painful loss.
