Sharon, Condolences to you and your family. It saddened Carol and I to hear of Smitty´s passing. Having worked with him as union representatives for almost 35 years before he retired from EB, he was just a very caring and honorable person. He could always find the humor in any situation. He was a pleasure to work with and even more fun to play with outside of work. I remember several trips out in the boat to the Bluffs with Paul and Dave Bliven. One time getting stuck out on the...

To the Smith Family, I am so sorry to hear of Paul´s passing, I worked with Paul for over 20 years at EB. We worked many jobs together and had many laughs along the way. When Paul retired, not only did he leave work, but he also left this awesome window seat overlooking the Thames River, now I´m lucky enough to sit in the same seat as Paul with this awesome view. Thanks for all the great times. Rest in Peace Paul, Your friend Ed Kohl

My condolence to Sharon and Family. I worked very closely with Smitty on Union issues and daily issues. As a Councilor,Smitty was my Grievance Rep and taught me countless things and I felt priviledged to consider him a friend as did many. He was all that his obit said and more. He will be missed by all who knew him. RIP Smitty.

Paul "Smitty" Smith was always a good source of information as an MDA-UAW Grievance Representative and Trustee. I went to Paul many times over the years as an MDA Union Official from the time we were young and when we got old for his experience and skills as he was easy to talk with and also had a sense of humor. Thank You Smitty , RIP -Bill Giustini/ Retired MDA-UAw First VP
