I'm laying in bed and you came across my mind, and it has been a good while since I have seen you or spoke. I had changed my#, and I felt that was the reason for this long silence. I tried calling you and no answer,so I called your work# and I discovered your gone. I will always love you, I will always remember your laugh and your love for me and our nights in your hot tub. Riding with you on your bike was so nice to hold onto you tight. I'm going to miss your soultry eyes and breathe smelling like Hennessy lol. Baby what took you from me. Joe r.i.p my love, your gone but never forgotten baby I love you.

I started configuring and installing a geothermal heating and cooling system back in 2009 and needed a piece of line. A local supplier didn't sell by-the-foot, only in bulk lengths, and the guy on the phone said "I know a guy...". That's how I met Smitty. He came out to a gas station near where I was and GAVE me a length of line. No charge. Of course that made me a customer for life. I hadn't spoke to him in a few years and just tried to find him.
Damn it, man... RIP, Smitty. Thank you.

Prayers for the family. Such losses are tough, but the blessing in this is in knowing that loved one trusted in the saving grace of a mighty God, and I for each of you the consolation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who affirmed that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all souls live unto Him. May His peace be yours today and always.

Such a kind, caring person. If it was winter he would stop what he was doing to make our repairs so our elderly family members would be taken care of. He will be missed. Our prayers to the family.

We send our sincere sympathy to the Smith family in the loss of your loved one. We remember when Lil' Joe, as we used to call him, was a child growing up in the neighborhood and the fond memories. We'll all miss him but he will not be forgotten in our hearts.

We all look forward to the resurrection when those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. John 5:28,29

We'll keep the Smith family in our prayers.
