Eugene Smith Jr.

Mayor Smith contributed greatly to Arcadia and to the state of Louisiana . He loved Arcadia and fought to foster economic development there. His shoes will be difficult to fill in terms of fulfilling the vision he had to continue making Arcadia a great place to live and do business. Herb and I feel blessed to have known both Eugene and Billie. We are praying for the family during this difficult time.
