A veteran of the Air Force and simultaneously a tunnel rat in
Vietnam, he proudly served his country when he was called and survived 6 months
as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. For this service his nation thanks him.
Ronald Lee Smith was an important person in the lives of many, especially those
that called him dad, grandpa, and friend. He was loyal and could always be
relied on when support and advice were necessary. He would never stay away from
the truth, and always spoke precisely. He will be dearly missed and all who
remember him will certainly continue to do so eternally, and may God rest his
soul.
