A light has been lit that will never go out! Uplifted we are, for the great spirit we found in Mr. Smith. He will be missed by us. Our loving regards to all of his family, especially Stacy, Zoli, Karen and Mike.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Smith's death. As a 15 yr. employee of Big Three, he helped make a friendly, family oriented workplace that we all appreciated.
My sympathy to the family, and I mourn his loss with other former employees.

My deepest sympathy to Mr. Smith's family. When Big Three was sold we lost the feeling of family; he was missed then and will be missed now.

Harry's passing is a loss to us all. He lead the way to improving the quality of life to many of us. His manner of running Big Three Industries led to it's rapid expansion that led it to become a major player in the industrial gas business. This benefitted us all, he is sadly missed.

It was with the utmost sorrow that I learned of Harry Smith's passing. He was one of the most astute businessmen I have ever known. Working for Big Three for 25 years under his leadership was both inspiring and educational. May God bless him and his family in this time of sorrow.

Heaven awaits you, God Bless!

It is with great sorrow and deepest sympathy that I acknowledge the passing of Mr. Smith. I am Karen Hodges Sasser, eldest daughter of Cal Hodges, who served 45 years under Mr. Smith's leadership. Mr.
Harry never made a promise to my dad that he did not keep, thus ensuring that our family was always
honored to serve with him, representing the values and morals he lead with so capably. He will always be in our hearts and souls.

Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Harry Smith at such a time as this. I am Janis Hodges Steen, and my father is Cal Hodges, who worked for and with Mr. Smith for 42 years. My husband, Gene H. Steen, Jr. is also an employee of Air Liquide America Corp., having known and served with Mr. Smith for many years through Lincoln Big Three, Inc. It is with sadness that our family hears of this news, but we also know the wonderful legacy that he left for so many, not only in the...

I've always had the highest respect and admiration for Mr. Smith. At his level, he was never too busy to visit customers. I recall meeting with a number of customers in Houston and being asked how Mr. Smith was? I was shocked to hear that he would occasionally drop by to discuss service. He knew the importance of a satisfied customer.
