Carl Smith Obituary

You may be gone, but you are not forgotten, till we meet again on the otherside.

It is time for our family to say one last goodbye cousin. Hug the girls for us. and we will do the same for your family here. Bye for now cousin !

I was thinking of you today, and since this is about to end. I wanted to say 1 last goodbye. We Will Always have a place in our hearts for you, And We all Wish we had just one more Day with you Rink. But I still Miss You, And I wont forget You either....Someday CW, Someday.

I think of Rink every day and wish we had just one more hour with you (well, some may wish for more, but usually by about an hour I was ready to leave and go shopping with Linda!).

As the holidays rush past us, I wish that we all remember how short life can be and we are thankful for those still here and the share the memories of those who aren't.

Please hug your loved ones and remind them of how precious the memories you are making today will be in the future.

I love all you all back in Colorado. I miss you guys and wish each and everyone of you all peace and joy for this holiday season.

I Found this for you. Rink and thought of the kinda Laughs U Gave us all.Since You Left us so here it is... An auto mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clunking noise when going around corners.
He took the car out for a test drive and made two right turns, each time hearing a loud clunk.
Back at the shop, he returned the car to the service manager with this note: “Removed bowling ball from trunk.”

I have things to say, but currently don't have the words, so I have left his guestbook open for another year. For the moment thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, and help. All have gotten me through to this point, and will continue to get me through in the times ahead.

Linda, I share your loss So Deeply, And My heart goes
out to All Of you, Carl W.Sr. Willie & Kenny,

Your Only OneLegged Mikee Quintana, Or Mike Quantana as u called me.

Whenever we took our vehicles for repair at "Don's Auto" on Fillmore, we always looked for Nick, John, "Rink" and his devoted proud Dad . "Rink" was a superb mechanic and we always depended on him to "get the job done" the right way. We were at the repair shop the other day; the place will never be the same without him! We know his death broke his Daddy's heart; his Dad was SO proud of him. "Rink" is sorely missed; he was a good man.

I enjoyed Rink and will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Rink's family and friends.

Linda, Will, Kenny & Carl, words cannot do justice to describe how deeply saddened I am to hear of Rink's passing, although it's been some time since I've seen you all, know you are in my thoughts and heart and I think of you all and our visits often. Rink was truly a unique and wonderful person, and while I will miss him along with everyone else that knew him, I will always remember him with that big grin on his face he always had. Much love to you all, I think of you often.

Till we see each other again someday cousin, I'll miss you.

Love,
Will, Stephanie, Emily and Charlotte Dix

Dear Linda, Kenneth Lee and Willie,

Memories are with us forever. Rink lived life full and provided us with many stories to repeat for years. He will be missed, but never gone. I love you all and hope you know if you need anything, I'm a closer than you think.

Love, Twila Sue

To Rink: Till we meet on the other side, take care sweetie. I love you and miss you every day. Please give my Aunt Dee Dee a huge hug and kiss from her favorite niece!

Linda,
I feel very fortunate to have known Rink.
Rink was one of the nicest, kindest men I have ever known.
Rink was always ready to go the extra mile for family, friends and pretty much everyone. I will always remember his friendship as something special in my life.
Rink will be missed!

John and I are so glad that we went to America last year, 2007, and were able to meet Rink. We found him fascinating to listen to and fun to be with. I personally will never forget my Interstate 25 Gold Wing ride!! I guess the world is made up of different characters and Rink's was unique. Such a sad loss.
Thinking of you all but especially Linda, love from John and Christine and the Aussie Family.

Linda
I have lost a cousin and a great friend and am very proud, he meant so much to so many. My love and prayers are with you. Remember I'm just a phone call away.

Linda,
I sincerely wish I could have stayed and helped you through this. Kenny & Will are great people and will be there for you as will the rest of your family. Regardless of the miles, we all are with you and are just a phone call away. Love you.
