In loving memory of cyril arthur smith who sadly passed away on the 4th of february 2006 aged 83
years old. he worked hard all his life as a boiler man in west bromwich where he was born and spent
his life raising his six children with wife freda. The last five years of his life he battled with
motor neurone disease which affected everything he did in his life. He was strong through out. When
diagnosed with it in january 2001 the doctors gave him 18 months but he stayed with us for an extra
five years which we were extremely grateful for, tho it was hard to watch him suffer the way he did.
At the end he caught phenumonia and gave up his battle surrounded by his wife, sons and daughters.

He worked hard all his life to provide for his family. For a family man he was indeed but with 6
children and 14 grandchildren he had little choice...
He was a man of few words but those he did speak were very wise. He was a very clever man who used
to say he was "the human calculator" and we believe he was. He also had a comical side which he
brought out mainly for the grandchildren to keep them entertained and he never failed to do so...
He was a huge fan of "the baggies" (WBA), snooker and darts.
He meant everything to his family, loved by us all very much and missed every single day... Forever
in our hearts love you Husband, Dad,Grandad and Great-Grandad xxx

The worlds Greatest Grandad xx

You left us 4 years ago to go and feel no pain,
But since the day you left our lifes are not the same.
Memories and conversations of you are easier to have
we actually find ourselves being able to think of you and laugh.

Our family keeps on growin' without you here to see,
they'll know you through my memories that i have with me.
To me you are my hero and no-one can compare
the day you were taken from us it seemed so unfair.

Rest in peace my dear grandad, smile down on me
my life is better knowin you are finally free.

love you always and forever Michelle, Trinity and Charlie xxx

My Darling Husband

When ties of love are broken,
And loved ones have to part,
It leaves a wound that never heals,
In ever a aching heart.

I have lost my sole companion,
A life linked with my own,
Day by day i miss you more
As i walk through life alone.

Its lonely here without you,
My life is not the same,
My heart is truely broken,
My tears are full of pain.

From your ever loving wife Freda
