The Prange family of Marco knew Smith well. “He was the most kicked back, funny and friendly guy, who really loved his family, friends, kids and life in general.”
Friends say he always wanted just “one last cast.” The tournament is a fitting tribute and Big Brothers Big Sisters a worthy organization.
