Edwin Cecil Smith, age 81, of Friendship, Wisconsin, passed away Saturday, April 25, 2020, peacefully in his home surrounded by his loved ones.
Bud was born on January 19, 1939, in Zion, Illinois to Cecil and Hazel Smith.
Bud enjoyed sitting at the coffee table watching the birds while reminiscing of his younger days in the Marines. He also enjoyed sitting in his room at night reading westerns and loved nothing more than holding a grandchild on his lap, watching them grow up.
Bud was preceded in death by his parents, sister, brothers, and wife Clara. Survivors include his son Danny Smith; four granddaughters Amber (Edward) Carlson, Darian (Sean) Fields, Hannah Smith, and Alexia Smith; five great-grandchildren Emma, Edward, Aiden, Kensley, and Liam.
So sorry for your loss, Danny!
I am sorry to hear of your loss, Danny.
So sorry for your loss. Sending you all hugs. Keep the stories he told and the good memories close.
You were my uncle but you were my friend when I was just a impressionable young girl. Always a bear hug and crazy faces. You made me laugh. It wasn’t that long ago. ❤️ You were a great uncle.
I am so sorry for your loss Danny,
Amber, your sisters, and all the grandchildren. Uncle Bud was the sweetest man. When we were young he always had a smile and a big hug.
I love you Uncle Bud. You will forever be in my heart. ❤️
Tell my dad hello for me. Tell him I miss him too. 😞
Amber and Family,

Remember my first paying job was as a youngster helping carrying lumber learning the trade by those two awesome men. Rip. Heaven has again other great person.
