Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
‘Smitty’ (as we knew him) was a vibrant and active member of historic St. Anthony parish for decades. His plumbing work for the church plant was varied and always professional; some of his projects still are in regular use. Those of us who remember him do so with great affection. May the angels sing him to his rest.
HE WAS A TRUE AND FAIR MAN. THOUGH WE NEVER REALLY THAT CLOSE, HE DID TEACH ME ABOUT THE HONOR OF A FAIR DAYS WORK. WORKING HARD PAYS OFF IN THE LONG RUN.
Isabel Siedhoff wishes to extend her condolences to the Smith family: She was friends of Golden and Nelly for many years through St. Anthony’s.
