Heeeeey!! Family, friends, and coworkers, I Henry Smith, Jr. well known as Pee-Wee have gone on to glory. I love you all and have enjoyed the time I was privilege to spend here with you. My life began on March 22, 1943. I was born to Henry Smith, Sr. and the late Essie Mae Bell in Pensacola, FL where I was raised, developed^ desire for sports' played on numerous teams throughout my school years, and graduated. I married my childhood friend Deloris Smith also a native of Pensacola, FL. We moved to Baltimore, MD to be near my mother. Out of that union my lovely daughter Paula Lavette Smith was born. I settled here in Baltimore, MD and was employed at St. Agnes Hospital for many years; I also had the pleasure of working at Northwest Hospital, and Arch Bishop Curly High School where I shared smiles, laughter, and gave pointers to the guys on the football team. When I was not working I enjoyed the company of family and friends, and of course you know that included sports, music, soap operas and beers. I welcomed you at my door with a big smile, my famous greeting "heeeeey" and, my number one question, " what did you bring?" I truly appreciated all of you allowed me to hold you hostage as I shared my favorite record collection. We rocked, patted our feet; and stepped to the sounds of Sam Cook; Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Mary Wells and countless other in my notorious man cave A.K.A. the basement; my place of peace where I share my appreciation for Mother Natures; yes I was a nature man and I loved the trees!! I have enjoyed my time here, but now I must go. I was saved by the blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. So, I'll see you all after a while, however I will now join my mother and step dad who preceded me in death; the late Essie and Gilbert Collins. I leave behind my father Henry Smith, I love you dad; Deloris Smith (wife) take care of yourself and be happy. My lovely blue-eyed daughter Paula Smith, you will always be my princess, you are stamped in my heart forever and, I love you!!!
