To the Herb Smith brothers, I so sorry for your loss, I will always remember the good days at St Charles
high School and all the sweet friendships we enjoyed together. I graduated with Tommy, a special friend of our family. My parents Jennie & Geoege Richardson always considered the Smith “boys” Gentlemen. Prayers for comfort and peace in your loss.

To Herb Smith family. Growing up I was at the Smith home a lot. All of the boys felt like my brothers at times. John, Clyde and Herb basically treated me like a younger brother. Tommy and Terry were great friends and Larry was a little (younger) brother. Unfortunately life seems to take us all in different directions. Herb will be missed and the remained of your family remain in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Herb. It was such a joy a few years back to see all 6 Smith boys at the St. Charles reunion. Herb was always at the reunions, sure gonna miss him. Our prayers are with the family at this time. Wanda (Sue) Delph Fleenor Bennett.

Although I know you were expecting this at anytime, it still does not diminish the pain of losing a brother. Ralph and I always made a point of seeing Herb at the reunions. We will miss that. Our prayers are with you and the family for comfort and guidance. Love Ralph and Rose Bush

So many will miss Charlie at the VFW 7119. Charlie was always showing pictures of his family and his wife, he had so much pride for all. May Charlie rest in peace now, as he is reunited with the love of his life. God Bless, Jennie and Garry
