I always called him Uncle Smitty, ever since I was a kid. He made a great Santa on Christmas Eves growing up. He made discussions in the garage with the guys entertaining too. In most rooms in my home there's a piece of woodwork he created for me or my mother that serves as a memory. He was well read, bright, and loved his family. I'm blessed to have had him in my life.
I would like to express my sympathy to Marilyn and her family on the funeral of Marv. I was surprised to see it in the paper - he always seemed happy and healthy. Stay busy Marilyn, and keep in touch, Don Scherer
Marilyn, Kathy and families - I'm so sorry for your loss. What a good man and may he now rest in Christ's peace. You are in my prayers.
So many memories, from frog hunting, always enjoyed sitting outside a having a beer after work or just stopping by to visit
