My sincere condolences to Mr. Smith's family on his passing. He was a true and kind gentleman, and I will never forget the day he took me with him in his truck to his doctor to get his hand stitched up and my head stitched. We both had accidents on one of those snow days in the middle 80's. Rest In Peace, Mr. Smith.
