Smitty was always a great guy I've known him for 27 years he was my first customer when I moved to West Springfield and has been a great customer over the last 27 years You could very easily get lost talking with him for an hour or so just talking about nothing but it was everything at the time he will be deeply missed The Lynn family

Sending my deepest condolences. Having worked with Smitty for many years at PPG, he was always so happy, kind and uplifting. Never a bad word about anyone. He was a very special person who lived life to the fullest. He will always be remembered as "the energized bunny" in my mind. Sending hugs and prayers. Carol ODonnell
