Thank you all for your kind words. To this day when I read these, my heart is comforted. We miss Dad immensely. ❤ Coming on 6 years gone!

I worked in Elyria with Me Smarts daughter Lysabeth, good man good family my prayers to you all. Bubba

I had the honor of meeting Mr and Mrs Jack Smart very briefly this past fall. As a person who observes closely family dynamics had the joy of seeing a couple so much in love after these years . I also saw them encircled by loving family and devoted friends. It is a blessing to experience how people come together . Mr Smart was exceptionally strong and determined , even ill he was organized and directed his family. I pray that at this time now and forever, Our Lord will encircle all with...

Boy Dad, you were a true War Hero for sure. These wonderful people are writing such great memories of what you did in WW11. I know I didn't ask you much about your battles in the war, but from reading them on your memorial post,you sure we're a true hero. Of course I already knew that. I miss you so so much dad. I look up into the heavens everyday and talk to you and cry my heart out for you. I know I will see you again in the Glories of Heaven someday. I love you Dad. Lysbeth

I am sorry for your loss and you should know that your father was an American hero. The ship he served on was part of the Battle of Corral Reef, which was a turning point battle against the Japanese during WWII. It was the first battle where the Japanese were turn away.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Laura and Bob, I know you gave so much of yourselves to your dad these past few years. My father was in the Naval Reserves shortly after the Korean conflict. I used to play with his sailor hat because I thought it was so cool! Keep the good memories close to your heart always. We are thinking of you!

Dear Laura & Family - - what an incredible legacy your Dad left in you: with your vibrant, loving, caring ways. All the best during this difficult time to you and your family & friends.

Laura, I am so sorry for your loss! What a fine man your dad certainly was! Bless you! I know you will miss him!
