I will always remember Smitty as our most responsible and dependable classmates. He was always there for us all, and I hate to think about Lumberton without him. I wish Kathy and their boys the best and I am truly sorry for their loss.

I will always see Smitty as the sweet little boy as I first knew him, but also the enthusiastic athlete that played football for Lumberton in their early years. My love and sympathy to Kathleen and the boys. He will be missed.

As part of the Whataburger Breakfast Group, we will miss him deeply. He was a good friend and I always enjoyed visiting with him.

Larry was a heck of a nice guy, always had a smile. I worked with him for many years. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.

I have so many memories of "Smitty." He was always one of the most friendliest people in town. We played football together in the old days and he was certainly a team leader. Everyone looked up to Smitty. His endeavors on earth will always be remembered, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of loss. The world was a better place with Larry Smith in it. RIP "Smitty"

Many condolences to the Smith family, I served with Larry on the Hardin County Appraisal Review board, and what a delight he was. A very proud family man. He will be missed by many.

Kathy, I am so sad for you and your boys. Smitty was such a nice guy in high school. And his sweet mom made the BEST HOMEMADE ROLLS I’ve ever eaten!! Wonder if she taught Smitty to make them?? May God comfort you and your family as only He can do. Love you, my sweet friend!!

I will always remember Smitty's kindness and smile. Although I was several years behind him in school, he would always greet us underclasses with sincerity, standing out as an example of having compassion and integrity. And, being such an important player for our beginning football team made him stand out even more. I am sorry for your loss, and will be in prayer for peace for your family.

Kathy, this so hurts my heart for you and your boys! Smitty was one of the good guys who will be terribly missed!! Mere words are incapable of expressing my sorrow for what you and your boys are going through trying to come to grips with your new reality! Please know I am lifting you all up for comfort and peace during this most difficult time! Hang in there sweet friend! Kathi Dorrell Hill

It’t Hard to imagine Lumberton without Smitty. He was one tough athlete, but always the most polite, gentlest friend. And even after years of not seeing him and Kathy, when I would run into them around town or at band events it was like we were back in high school. Kathy and your boys, my heart breaks for you as you move forward in the days to come. I hope you will find comfort from all of your family and friends who loved Smitty. You’ll be in my prayers.

I was fortunate to be Michael's first grade teacher. After reading all the comments about Larry, I can say he was an excellent role model for his sons. Michael was sweet and a leader in the class. I always enjoyed talking with Larry and Kathy. I will pray for peace and comfort for Kathy and the boys.

Lindsey Bates

Mrs. Smith, Mike and Lance, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Smith was a great man and I have memories from spending time in high school after football games, etc. I heard so many stories from my parents about "Smitty" and am glad to have known him. I will be thinking of your family during this time. Love you all.

Kathy, I am so sorry about Smitty. He was always such a gentleman, unfailingly kind and considerate. Even though I never see anyone from school, I have fond memories of Smitty all during my school years in Lumberton. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Kathy: Rich and I are very sorry to hear of Larry's passing. We remember meeting Larry one evening at your house when you hosted a birthday party for me. That's when we also met Lance, Michael, and "Little Bob." Rich and I remember Larry as a very kind and generous man and an interesting conversationalist. Please know that we are thinking of you and are praying for God's comfort for you and the boys. Don't hesitate to call us if you need anything. Susan Strandberg

I am heartsick over the loss of Smutty. He was one of the few men that stood out among crowds. He was a very special person. It was so nice to get reacquainted with him and Kathleen when we were all band boosters together. My prayers are with the family.
