Sad to hear of Smithy´s passing. Our sincere condolences to you Jos and the family. No one warmed my back up better than Smithy before a game of rugby. Really enjoyed his company at the after match functions. Will be missed. Cheers Swads and Jen.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of one of the most caring and genuine people. Smithy (Pop Pops) was always willing to help especially with the kid's bikes when they got punctures and putting new heals on my shoes. I remember he was always there if I needed someone to talk to. Smithy was not just a work mate he was also a friend to us all for over 20 years and will be greatly missed and respected. R.I.P. Pop Pops.
