I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Paul Smith, but I became great friends with his daughter, Vickie. Often times Vickie would bring us Paul’s delicious homemade treats to share with the office. If knowing Vickie is to know Paul, then I know he was a great man who was kind and caring and loving. I know his family will miss him greatly. May he Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry to hear. Mr. Smith's chocolate chip cookies and apple pies always would appear at the most opportune times. Just knowing that someone thought about us enough to make us feel special made a hard day so much easier to bear. I can't imagine how much he will be missed.
