In his last goodbye, Mr. Smith said his kids had affected so many people via their family, school, and sports groups.
“My beautiful boys, Russ and Ben, it’s been an absolute privilege to be your father and I’ll always hold you so deep in my heart,” he added.
Your small lives were lovely. You had lovely travels. You great boys—cheerful, hilarious, brilliant, charismatic—made the world a better place.
“You’re my world, my little men, my best friend club crew, and we had so much more adventure ahead.”
I’ll miss you two sons. Your legacy and memories will endure. You lads have affected the world in an extraordinary manner that will never be forgotten. I’ll never stop loving you, Russell and Ben, and nobody else will either.
