TO GLEN , GARY AND THE ENTIRE SMITH FAMILY:
I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO KNOW AND RESPECT "MR HENRY" AS A FRIEND, PATIENT AND CONFIDANT. HE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ANYONE WITH ANY SORT OF PROBLEM. HE WAS A "TRUE CHAMPION" FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE. HIS SMILE FILLED EVERY ROOM HE ENTERED. HE WAS ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC AND FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT TO PROLONG HIS LIFE DESPITE MANY ILLNESSES THAT WOULD HAVE CRIPPLED AND DISHEARTENED A LESSER MAN. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM BUT NEVER...

I am so sorry that I was unaware of the loss of Smitty. I read the BR paper tonight to see the listing of the funeral. My father, Jesse loved this man. Of course, we met Smitty in a political race. Where else would you meet Smitty?
It was 1972 and I was 20 years old. I learned one important thing about Smitty: Once a friend -always a friend. One final note--He was so proud of his family. He will be missed but not forgotten.
