Mr. Earl Forrest Smith Jr.'s Obituary
Earl Forrest Smith Jr., AKA Moose 73, one of a kind, good hearted, jokester, perfectionist, loving brother, and number one Dad, came into this world on April 30, 1947 and went into our loving father's arms on June 26, 2020.
He has always been a loving father of Forrest, Tamara, and Julie. Proud grandfather of Ryan, Colton, Beatrice, Lucy, Madeline, and Ameliyah. He has been a caring brother of Elaine, Bubby, and Don. Also a very loyal friend to many.
Following in his father's footsteps as a pressman for many, many years, he has been depended upon for his attention to detail and perfectionism. He accumulated many awards and accreditation over his career. Many have looked up to him and strive to have his abilities and work ethic as a printer.
He has always been a simple laid back type of man that enjoys the simple pleasures out of life. He enjoyed more than anything being with family and friends. He taught his children how to be loving, thoughtful individuals. He showed them to laugh and not to worry about the small things. There isn't a time that you would talk to him and he wouldn't have something funny or crazy to say. His charm has brightened many.
Over the years he has accumulated many life long friendships. His friends were as important to him as family. He enjoyed living life to the fullest. His memory will be cherished close- heartedly always and his legacy will not be forgotten. Come on July 19, 2020 at 2:00 PM at Spring Hill Funeral Home to come together for his memorial.
