Your friend Paul Torres

P. S. Paul and Harold are best friends forever very much.

I was saddened to hear that my close friend Harold Smith has moved on to enjoy his eternal reward. Four years my senior, he was not only a friend, but like an older brother I never had.

He and Susie were the first people I met when I moved to Sandpoint. For the better part of 20 years I considered him my closest friend in Idaho.

As "pool junkies" we spent countless hours together enjoying the game. A creative and savvy businessman so successful I firmly believe he could have found a way to sell space heaters in the Sahara, or ice in Antarctica.

My fondness memory is that of inviting him to play pool at Slates after he sold it, where I said I would buy him lunch. Getting there early I convinced the wait staff to tell him they were out of whatever he ordered. He seemed a bit miffed that the restaurant he and Susie had taken so much care in running.....had run out of lettuce!

We had some good times...gonna miss you buddy,

Paul and Heidi, I have been remembering your dad since my mom brought me his obituary. Heidi, I loved going with you to Deer Forest to paint ornaments from the glass blowing business he had. I am sure we played more than painted but I loved being with you there. Paul, do you remember when my then new husband and I saw you at work, maybe in Canada? We were honeymooning up there. Well, your dad was an important part of my life. I will see him in heaven some day. Lisa (Eckert) Dove

Last time I saw you , you called out my name in Walmart. I turned around and there was that big smile of yours. A friendly face in the middle of all the people. I want to say thank you (and Susan) for building Slates. What a great place, and job. Gave me the beginning of a career I am still in, and enjoy doing. RIP.

Simply put, Harold was an innovative genius. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and an unceasing imagination coupled with what seemed to be inexhaustible energy. He was so easy to talk to about any subject, always with laugh and smile, and a personality which gathered friendships wherever he traveled all across the country. We all loved him and will miss him until we all reunite in Heaven. I'm confident Harold will help make things better as needed, his spirit lives on!
With Love
Joane and Gary

To share memories of dad would take up all the space in the world here so I tried to think of my "best" one (there are so many...). Dad was an adrenaline junkie and passed that down to me in spades -- we had a mutual love of coasters and our best ride was in Sea World on Kraken -- my memory is that of absolute, pure joy, not a care in the world, and just being next to him knowing I was safe no matter how scary the ride. What a metaphor for life.
I miss you beyond comprehension -- thank you for taking care of me and for leaving nothing left unsaid. I love you and will see you again.

I wanted to be like him. He was more than my brother. He was my hero and friend. We would talk of life, our love for Christ, our upbringing and how we made it. Our struggles with forgiveness and being forgiven. My heart is a little empty with your leaving, and it´s full with joy knowing I´ll see you again. I´ll end this as we always end our time together by saying. I love you and so does God.

RIP Harold. I will miss your sense of humor, your high energy, your creativity, your love of life & positive thinking. Of course I will continue our tradition of daily birthday celebrations since every day is a new day ... and ... why not ?

Life will not be the same without you Harold, but what a great ride it was. Our 40 plus years flew by - never a dull moment. I love you and will think of you everyday.
