So sorry to hear of your loss, I have many good memories of your father, he was quite a guy, truly someone who could do anything if he put his mind to it. Take care. Jeff

I can remember going to my brother's baseball games and seeing Mr. Smalley there. His boy, Neal and my brother, Keith, played ball together. Now, from what I understand, Neal plays basketball with my other brother, Tony. There is not a game that I can remember not seeing Mr. Smalley.
My prayers are with Terry, Neal and the rest of the family.
