Dennis Smith

Dennis Ray Smith “Smitty”, son of Harold R. and Joan  (Hall) Smith of Osceola, died Feb. 20, 2010, at Southern Hills Nursing Home under Hospice care. He was born in Decatur County Hospital on Feb. 9, 1956, and was 54 years old.

In his youth he played on Sluggos softball team and raced dirt bikes. Smitty loved the outdoors and went on fishing trips to Canada  as well as goose and duck hunting. Before his illness prevented him from going, he and friend, Gabe, conducted goose hunting trips for clients from all over the United States. They were featured on a cable TV show outdoor program on hunting.

Smitty was cremated, and at his request, his ashes will be scattered at his favorite hunting spot by his best friend, Gabe.
