Cooky Smith, one of a kind. He took my heart with a smile and taught me more about life and people than anyone I have ever met. He knew how to have people want to do the right thing and please him. I will always treasure his presence in my life and would miss him terribly but he added so much to me personally it is like he will always be a part of me.
