To the family of Chester Reed Smith or “Pete” as I knew him. When I think of him I remember all talks we had while I would be walking over here next to my house. He talked to me like he knew me all my life and you just don’t find that in people anymore. In short I would just like to say thank you Pete for always being my friend.
I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. He was a good man. I will always remember him coming in down at Dry Fork when My dad’s country music group was playing and aggravating me. He was a lot of fun to be around. He was a very kind man who knew how to have a good time. You are a lot like your father. If there is anything I can do please feel free to let me know. Again I am sorry for your loss. But Heaven gained another Angel .
It Was A Shock To Me Here The Passing Of Chester Reed Smith.
Very Sorry For Your Loss.
