I am so sorry to hear of "Smiley's" passing on. Even though I moved to Ohio we kept in touch. I will miss my friend deeply and remember the laughs and chuckles we had in the ol' hangout we visited. Objects and places may change in life, but true friendship will never change. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace! Deepest affection, Brenda

I am so sorry to hear of Gene's passing. I remember when I was a child going to Aunt Mollie's and Gene would come by for a visit and was always smiling. May his memory bring you comfort
