To the Smillie Family,
Our deepest condolences. Cliff was one of the kindest and nicest people that I have known. When I moved in across the street from Cliff he was the first people to come over to say hello.
He would put candy boxes in my mailbox for the holidays which was was very thoughtful.
Every Easter all the kids in the neighborhood would come over for Easter egg hunts and eat all that yummy candy.
These are fond memories that I will always cherish and he will be deeply missed.
To all the Smillies,
Uncle Smillie was one of a kind. Unassuming, unpretentious and a wonderful man. Growing up, seeing Uncle Smillie roll up was always so exciting because it usually meant candy! He had the most awesome kinds of candy too – not the boring ones that you got on Halloween, but the newest and best.
As we got older, it became evident that he was the glue in the family – the sane one – keeping all the craziness with Aunt Joan, Debbie, Brian and John in order. Uncle Smillie was the perfect complement to the unfettered zaniness of Aunt Joan
The endearing memory of Uncle Smillie will be his calmness, his smile and his joking winks when “it” was all hitting the fan around him. Our condolences to the whole family. He lived a long life with a loving family and got to spread smiles to the world – one box of candy at a time.
We wish we could be there to raise a swedish fish with you and express our love for him.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I know you both took such great care of him these last few years and everything he went through. I never had the chance to meet your dad but based on the people you both became he must have been a great dad. Thoughts and prays to you both of your families.
John, Brian, and families: So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, I have so many fond memories of your neighborhood years ago and the love your parents and all the other parents had for all the kids.
