Son of Hester G. Williams, Father of Larry L. Smith, Grandfather

of four, Dawn Smith, Craig Smith, Wendy Farrington & Colleen

Carpenter and a Great grandfather of two boys, Cody Workman &

Matthew Workman.

Mr. Smith was a WW2 Veteran and a longtime resident of Culver

City.

A Proud Alumni of USC, who became a successful Public

Accountant and a Real Estate Investor. However his great passion

and pride lied in his world of plants, where he found great

happiness and joy.

Astonishingly, at the ripe old age of 95, Mr. Smith continued to

work each and every day and all day running his businesses as well

as working in his world of plants on the roof top of his building in

the heart of Culver City. Mr. Smith was an active member for many

years of several garden clubs and societies. He won many trophies

and accolades for his green thumb.

His final resting location will be at Holy Cross Cemetery in

Culver City but he will remain in our hearts forever.

Mr. Smith: “Do you know what retire means to me?”

Other Person: “What?”

Mr. Smith: “It means to go out and get new tires on my vehicle.”
