His storytelling ability was unrivaled. His depth of love for his family and friends was so deep.

Percy was perhaps the finest example of a southern gentleman I ever met. Always kind and thoughtful, he always acted in the best interest of his community. Lillian and the girls were fortunate to have him in their lives. he made a difference.....

Percy was a kind and funny man. He was a wonderful (and patient) husband and father. I remember him running, running, running. Always in motion
He made Lillian laugh a lot and let her be her own incredible woman and friend. His girls will miss his energy, spunk, humor and love.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Lillian & Smith Family- Percy was such a big part of everything he touched- from family to community to the neighborhoods in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. I love the quote “He never had a bad day and always had a twinkle in his good eye!” A life well lived. How true! God Bless Percy and his wonderful Family.
