We are fortunate to have known the Smiths who were one of our first neighbors when we moved in as a young couple. My sons grew up referring Lorraine as Rainey "Paati" (grandma in our language) & Walter "Thaatha " (grandpa) and remember Rainey's sugar cookies fondly. Walter was a great man, always tinkering around in his blue-uniformed pant & shirt, mowing his lawn, snow blowing, and climbing up to on the roof to clean the gutters. He put us young ones to shame with his energy and they don't make people like him anymore. Upon hearing that Walter Thaatha was one too, my younger son, a gearhead, aptly summed it by saying "if only I knew about his passion for cars". We will miss the Smiths and we send our condolences to the entire family
