Mack Smith Obituary
WESTFIELD — Mack Edward Smith, III, passed in his sleep early Thursday morning, January 24, 2008, due to complications associated with congenital heart disease. He was surrounded by his loving family; wife, Sylvia; son, Shannon with his wife, Jillian; and daughter, Victoria with her husband, JP Shropshire, II. He is also survived by his step-mother, Virginia V. Smith; and two grand-daughters, Sydney Claire and Zoe Kate Smith.
Memorial services will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, January 26, at the Westfield Baptist Church in Westfield, N.C.
He was a graduate of Mars Hill College, served his country during Vietnam, a Paul Harris member of Rotary International, a long-time member of FBC Greensboro and an ordained deacon. He was an accomplished businessman, generous friend and loving family man whose easy manner and laughter will be greatly missed.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Music Fund of the Westfield Baptist Church in Mack's name.

Sylvia,
I was extremely saddened to hear of Mack's passing. We grew up together at FBC Greensboro and Greensboro Sr. Hi. What a great person he always was. Although we moved from the Greensboro area years ago, I still thought of him when I remembered church activities of our youth.

Please accept my sympathies in the death of your husband and father. I did not know him, but I heard about him from my sister, Linda Eubank, mother of Stephanie Eubank Hopkins. Linda told me Mack was part of the entourage that attended the school competitions my niece was involved with, and he was sad with them when they lost, and an enthusiastic supporter when they would win. I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Mack. I had the pleasure of his friendship and mentoring the years of 1970 through 1978 as a business associate when he managed Transmission Supplies (TSI). We shared many laughs and "opportunities" together; I don't ever recall a situation that wasn't handled with a grin and a handshake. I know he will be missed by all those who were close to him and I am saddened he will no longer be there for all of us. Gerry Goffinet - Franklin, Tennessee

Sylvia, Shannon and Victoria,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and will be in the days ahead. Mack was a very special person and he touched many lives. You both made great contributions to the Kingdom at Brandt Oaks.
Love and prayers,
Howard and Maude
