NORMAN SMITH Obituary
In honor of Norman Dennis Smith Sr., we pay tribute,
A life of valor, service, and resolute pursuit,
Born in Texas, on a summer's day in '42,
His journey marked with dedication, strong and true.
From the Army's embrace, he answered the call,
Bravery and commitment, he displayed them all,
Protecting with honor, in times of strife,
A soldier's legacy, etched in the tapestry of life.
Transitioning to security, his path did unfold,
Continuing to shield, with a heart of gold,
A steadfast guardian, in the face of adversity,
His unwavering resolve, a beacon of solidarity.
Rooted in community, his spirit did thrive,
Touching hearts with warmth, keeping hope alive,
His integrity shone bright, a guiding light,
Leaving an indelible mark, pure and right.
Norman Dennis Smith Sr., a man of grace,
In memory, we find solace, in his embrace,
His deeds a testament, his spirit free,
A lasting echo in eternity.
