My sincere condolences to the entire Smith Family. Buford and I grew up together as children and went to B.S. Ingram Elementary School. We both played on the school's football team and were good friends. I have not seen Buford in many years but I always cherished the memories of his friendship. Rest In Peace my Friend until we meet again.
