I was Smitty's Roommate for 2 weeks at a nursing home. I shared a small room with him. He was the greatest roommate I could have ever asked for. He was considerate, kind and I miss him.I am honored to have known him. God bless Smitty!

I was Smitty's roommate for 2 weeks last fall. I just thought he was the greatest guy. We shared a small room with only a curtain separating us. He was a considerate, helpful guy who showed me the ropes. I'm in his debt. He was also an excitable bear fan. We caught a couple of games together. I'd like to give my sympathies to his family. I met his son a couple of times. If somebody gets a chance maybe they could give me a call. I'd appreciate it. You can reach me at 773-779-5143. I also would like to thank Smitty for his military service. It would've been an honor to serve with him. Sincerely, Terry Nealis.

ELLEN Biehl and family.
