Our condolences to the entire Smist family. We graduated high school with Bob. We knew him to be funny and kind. Bill remembers playing baseball with him. Prayers for you all at this sad time.

Bob was a classmate of mine and close friend through our high school years. We played a lot of baseball together including the "sandlot" games at the Coomer Road home followed by a little time in the pool. We hung out on Friday nights at the Teen Tunnel or Wilsons and stayed out of trouble ... mostly.
