From the time I was little, my siblings and I would ask my Dad (Mac) to “tell us a story from when you were a little boy” and would insist on the retelling of stories from the hilarity that he and his friends ‘The Boys’ got into and, while each of the tellings over the years remained the same - they somehow got funnier and funnier. What amazed me was that they all managed to survive!
Smitty was apart of a gang of 5 main friends my father had, their friendship spanned decades. Over the years, one by one they left us and, while I knew there was sadness - there was also joy in the retelling of the stories.
Don Smith was kind, caring and thoughtful. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with him and the joy he brought to every occasion. He will be missed.
Sending prayers of peace to his family and friends. ~ Barbara Jeanne Harrison
