His love of life, cars, hunting and the gift of gab make his stories more precious with his passing. The oldest son of Alfred and Inez Smith was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Beverly, sister Barbara, and brother Marvin. He leaves behind his sister Artye (Jim) Scott, brother Tim (Penny) Smith, brother-in-law Ron Gibford, sister-in-law Marsha Martello, brother in-law Charles Brennan, 6 kids, 16 grand kids, 19 great grand kids, numerous nieces, nephews and friends. The family would like to express to Harriett their deep appreciation for her hard work and companionship she provided our dad these last years. His final race is done, his last checkered flag has dropped. He will be missed, staying forever in our hearts.
