I will never forget the times talking with Pops about jazz and boats. I remember being a kid and helping with the Chris Craft and helping put in the latter on the dock in Wisconsin while Pops instructed me. My thoughts and heart go out to everyone that was close to James G. Smith "Pops"

My thoughts and prayers are with you Suzanne, you had very special and loving parents. I know you made them very proud, your compassion and ability to make people smile and ease their fears was a priceless gift. God bless you and your family in this sorrowful time.

I never met Mr. Smith, but he must have been special to be gifted with a daughter as caring, kind and loving as Suzanne. My sympathy to and prayers for the family. May he be having a great time reunited with those who preceded him to eternal life.
