Eddie Smith Sr. and Atlee (Forte) Smith on July 28, 1948.

Over the years, TC became a proud Waco local and was

known as a beloved Husband, Dad, Papa and Friend. He

lived a life full of laughter, stories, and service to others

through helping them however he could, including giving

his direct advice to anyone who needed it without judging.

TC loved spending time working at his automotive shop,

hanging out with his family and friends watching sports,

movies or westerns, playing games or just sitting around

joking and telling stories.

He was known for being one of the best in storytelling,

jokes, dominoes, poker and doing automotive repairs.

As a former athlete, he loved football and basketball,

specifically his Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Lakers.

When he was not at the shop, he loved to take road trips

and would often leave Waco to visit family or go to

WinStar, get his room, play Bingo and slots.

He leaves to cherish his memory, Wife of 30+ years, Melanie
