I have missed Donald since he retired from The Denver Post, where I worked many years with him. He was such a warm and kind person. It's a great sorrow to know that I won't ever run into him again at the credit union and/or see him riding his bike and collecting cans. I, along with many other Denver Post employees, wish to express our deepest sympathies to Donald's family.

I am going to miss Donald waving and shouting "hello" whenever he passed my house on his way home. He was an icon in our neighborhood. I'm going to miss him.
My prayers go out to his family. You have my deepest sympathy.

To the family of Donald, I have known him for 59 years. We went to school together. He will be truly missed. You have my prayers. It was good to see him at Manual's Class Reunion for our classes of 1960-65.

Donald Elbert Smith,
My uncle, he was one of the kindesst persons in my life. He was well rounded. He liked sports especially boxing. He had a boxing ball fixed to the ceiling in the basement of the house he grew up in and lived til his passing. Sometimes when I knew he was in the basement hitting that ball with great intense just llike a pro boxer with perfect rythem, I would ask him to pick me up so I could hit it. I was just a little girl not as good as him be he held me up til I got one hit in. He had hobbies collecting glass bottles and aluminum for cash. He got pleanty of exercise as he cycled his two wheeler around the city. He drove as well. His favorite color was red and recarpeted his house in a royal red color it was pretty. He graduated from Maunel High School and did not go to college, but as much time as he spent taking classes for reading comprehension and spelling he probably earned enough credits for an honory diploma in specialized studies. Donald was very intelligent, made his own decisions and smart choices. I remember the last time I saw his face. I drove him to get a hair cut and after that we went over to his house and then my aunts house he was sitting in the front passangers seat and as I was driving I looked over at him and said lets just go some where and have fun. He looked me in the eye and then a kool-aid smile followed. One of his favorite foods was water melon and every now and then he was known for eating the seeds. He was sunshine to me, warm never angry, I never saw him mad he was a role model. His smile will be everlasting to me like the life time of the sun. These ae just a few of my memories of my uncle Donald Elbert Smith.
May he rest in everlasting peace in Yahshua the Messiah.
Love always your niece.
