I miss Smitty. He was a great guy, excellently golfer, fun at parties and a good friend. On the driving range or golf course he would often go up to some stranger and offer a golf tip and he knew what he was talking about. I spent a lot of time golfing with Smitty. There were many foursomes with me and Smitty against Arturo and Claudio. We were the Jets and they were the Sharks. Lol. Herc introduced me to Smitty and we also played many rounds together. Smitty and Diana threw some fabulous parties for Halloween and Christmas. April and I were happy to attend and also have them at our parties. I wish you many rounds up in heaven Smitty and hope to play there with you some day.

So many great memories...first one was a Halloween party at your house...Smithy was giving shots of apple cider spiked with liquor...oh what a party that was. So many visits to your home on 9th St!! My last visit with him was Jun '21, he was up in CF and I ran into him at Burntwood!!

I dont remember the first but I will miss your fun loving self. When people say he was one of a kind they mean it about him. Smitty will be so missed.
