A Tribute to Mick Smith

**Mick** · 07-30-2014, 07:41 PM

Since Mick is still shown as a member, I can write too and I want to thank you all so much for such wonderful words. He was all the obituary said but he was also very down to earth and took pride in looking like a plain old regular guy when he no longer had to wear suits or uniforms. At his funeral 3 of our 5 kids spoke and none knew what each other was going to say. All 3 talked about learning their good work ethic from him. He was a very good man and knew where he was going so I take comfort in that. He got to see all 5 kids and say things he hadn't said before.
His final lesson to you all is tell the people in your life how much you love them and that you are proud of them NOW while you still can and don't skip your colonoscopy!

Mrs. Smith, I am SO thankful for your husband's contribution here, and to me personally. He was always a delight to deal with. And as someone else who knows where he is going, I want to know one thing: He DOES know the streets paved with gold are not for scrapping, right? ;-)

May the Lord bless and keep you ma'am, until you meet with your husband again!

I don't speak much on the forum due to time constraints of scrapping during the day and working a regular job at night. I have read many past posts by Mick and learned much from him through those posts. So thank you Mick for the knowledge you have left here for us. You will be missed. Rest well Brother....
