ERNEST SMILEY Obituary
11/13/56 - 9/30/13
Dunnellon - A REAL American biker with a heart of gold and a tongue like a razor died surrounded by friends early Monday morning.
He is survived by his two sisters Enda Smiley and Leigh Smiley Blair; a niece Michelle Blair Lopresto; and a grand nephew Lucas Blair.
He served our country proudly in the United States Marine Corps. A character until the end, living on the edge, he will never be forgotten.
