I wish his family, friends and fellow spondies strength in dealing with the tragic loss of such an iron-willed fighter in his 60's.

He was Mr Smith

I guess we all take the bright lights in our lives for granted. But I don't mean that in a negative way. I think that another way to look at taking a person for granted is to say that you rely on them without fear or concern. I knew about Michael's serious health issues, and I knew about his pain, but I admit I never thought about it as I read and thoroughly enjoyed his contributions here.

I got into a funk a couple of years ago about the thought that I was going to die and would not be remembered long term. After a while I got a perspective: We all die. Even the queen of England. And although Elizabeth will be remembered in an historical way, the rest of us will be remembered for a while by the lives we touched, and that is a gift that goes both ways.

Mr Smith touched so many of us who never even met him. I will remember him, and miss him as so many of us will. I am just glad he is no longer in pain.
