I have known Pete all of his life. His mother passed away when he was very young and my mother & father, Bert & Zelma Mitchell help raise him when he lived in Kosse. I lived near them & Pete would watch over my children when we were there. Everyone in Kosse loved and cared about all 4 of those Smith brothers. God bless you at this time of loss.

Ed was one of the best fireman the city of Waco could ask for. A true gentleman in ever respect of the word.

Mrs. Smith, I never got to meet you but I will remember Pete as a wonderful, gentle and pleasant person who dearly loved his brothers & sisters in law, especially Joe & Lena, whom he lived with in Kosse. I remember Pete riding his horse all over Kosse and racing with the boys on their horses.He was especiallly loved in his little hometown of Kosse where he grew up and the last time I saw him, he was still saying how much he loved Kosse too. So sorry for you loss. Sue Mills
