James Albert "Jim" Smith Jr.

Well Pop, its been a very very long time since I spoke to you. I remember the times I spent In your house and In the basement with Mickey and Zach. I dont know why I decided to look up your obituary. But Im glad I did and saw all the great things people had to say about you. Keep an eye on us and our new comer. We love you and miss you.

It's not the amount of years
A man has lived
It's the amount of people
Who are glad he did

Patsy and Jim were so sweet to me while I took surveillance classes with Jim in Las Vegas in April and May of 2004. Jim stood out in the class as being thoughtful, caring and very,very much the gentleman. When he found out I had come from out of town to take the class and was alone, he and Patsy "adopted" me, taking me to dinner, asking me over, being true friends. I really had wished to find a job in Las Vegas so I could stay near to them. Jim impressed me in such a way I will never be able...

Pat, Family, and Friends,

Uncle Jimmy,

I will Miss working with you. I couldn't wait to see what new gadget you got. We will really miss your stories. You always had the best and funniest stories.

We love you more then words can say,
we wish we could take all your sorrow away.

If Tears could build a stairway
And Memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

I never even knew this guestbook existed until I spoke w/Pat a little earlier. It is so nice to read all the nice things people are writing about my dad. We will miss him very much but I know he is always with us and watching over us. He was a wonderful Father, Grandfather, A very loyal friend and I am sure Pat would say a wonderful Husband. They had such a special relationship, not just spouses but best friends. He loved spending time with all of us. I cannot believe I will never get to hear...

Jim you will be missed very much by Walter, myself and the kids.
thanks for many years of laughter. Thanks for treating my Mom like a princess...I always told he she was spoiled.
You will always be in hearts, with truly fond memories.
Mom we will see you soon
Rest in peace Jim you were a good man..
Love Sherri,Walt, Danielle, Michael and Anthony

Aunt Pat,
I'm so very sorry to hear about Jim. I know I've only met him a few times. But, what I have seen ,
I know he was a great guy. You will always be in my thoughts.
You will get trough this. You are a very strong woman. Always remember you will always be my aunt, and that I will love you forever.
Love, Shelley (Margretta) Mcneely

To my step-father Jim, I am missing you so much it hurts. I wish I could've seen your dream come true in Las Vegas. I'm glad you and Mom had a chance to live your dream for awhile. I know you loved my mom with all your heart and soul. I could tell by the way you looked at her when you renewed your vows back in Feb. 2004. I know you loved me and my kids too.They will miss you greatly. I was heart broken when I heard the news of your passing, I've cried for days at a time and still do. I will...
