I remember as kids, Scott and I playing on an old car in his front yard, and Jim (well, then "Mr. Smith") checking on us from time to time. Over the years, I always thought he reminded me of the dad on "A Christmas Story", and found his bubbly approach to life echoed that dad as well. He was a great "dad" to Scott and ALL his friends, like so many parents in Waupaca were, back in the day. We will never forget the house at the top of the hill, where Mr. (and Mrs!!) Smith made us all feel so welcome.
