Saturday,March 1st

Several of you have e-mailed and called about last week's entry about Lloyd Ray Smith, the retired Area Four Special Olympics Director.

Lloyd Ray lost his battle with cancer and gained his angel wings early Saturday morning, March 1st. He leaves behind five children, a sister, and a devoted caregiver.

He also leaves behind countless memories and indelible impressions in the hearts of thousands of individuals whose lives he touched over the years. The extended family of Special Olympians, the volunteers, the fundraisers, and the all the rest will miss this man...this man whose heart and spirit was as big as the great outdoors.

The world of Special Olympics is a better place for him being a part of it. Farewell, Smithy...we will miss you.
