Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Smith's death. I grew up on the lake and as a little boy fished in Mr. Smith's backyard and got to know him and his dog's...Eb (I think) and of course my favorite dog of all time...Pepe (the little Chihuahua that could!). He was one of the nicest men I have ever met. Also, getting to listen to the Braves games on his radio while I fished was a bonus.

"Thanks for the memories at Fire Station 19 and our friendship my Captain, rest well for you were truly a man and brother amoung all men."

May you continue to feel the love and support of family and friends as you celebrate a life that was well lived.
