Not sure what to say?

Smokey will be wit his Mother and other loved ones in Heaven now. He and Jim will have lots of time to chat and remember old times. Smokey always had a way of making a person smile and I remember his FBI cap and him saying that means Full Blooded Italian! Such a jokester!

We just heard about this loss of Smokey Vanzo. We had loss touch with him as well as many other of our friends from Edwardsville. Smokey was always fun to be around. We extend our deepest condolences to his family.
