To the Smith family,
"Mr. Smith" helped raise more than his own kids on Highland Ave. His vivid life experiences, his humor, incite and patience influenced the lives of a bunch of kids who grew up with Curt and Scott.
I know I thought of him as a spare dad and a wise older pal who was always there and had the talent to put things in a funny persecutive when a kid just didn't want to hear the same answer fro his own parents.
He will be missed by many and I know that my brother and I are richer for having grown up under his influence and that we will always enjoy found memories of him.
