To the Smith and Harrington families,
my sincerest condolences on the passing of Mr. Smith. though I only saw him at Billy and Alicia's get togethers, I always enjoyed talking Providence College basketball with him and our shared belief that referee Tim Higgins' ablities were suspect.
again, I am so sorry for your loss.
