Allyn Emery "Al" Smith

I have so many memories with Al Smith . We worked together in Hospital Products Division at Abbott Labs from 1980-1993 . I worked on same projects and travelled to Rocky Mount , North Carolina where Abbott was spending millions to expand manufacturing . I can still see his smile and remember his humor . We had our offices at Abbott Park ( Building AP4) , and we often sat at the same table at lunch at AP16 cafeteria . It was just yesterday , but familiarized myself from the obituary that post retirement Al and Joan had a terrific travel life . Al and Joan came to our Heather Ridge Christmas party . Al was a dear friend and the news of his passing saddened me quite a bit .

My deepest sympathies to Joan and family for the passing of Al as he was truly a great man, husband, father, and grandfather!!! I love Al as a dear cousin and always admired the man he became!! We had many great times together growing up in Shelby!!! Thank you so very much Al for these super times!!
