Rest in Peace Smitty. Will miss you my friend. I loved talking with you at your auctions. You would pick up something and say to me, bet you've not seen something like this before, then tell me all about it. I was in awe of your knowledge and what you have seen. May the Lord Bless and Comfort family and friends.
