My prayers and condolences go out to the Smith family. I have known Mr. Smith through his daughter Emerita Grey since 1997. He was a devoted family man who was the glue holding the family together.
I will always remember his quiet strength and will miss his delicious homemade soups which he lovingly shared with family and friends alike.
RIP Otis.
