Honestly surprised no one has posted about this yet.

James Edward Smith (as in the Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium) passed away on Friday, Dec 29th. Visitation was yesterday evening (Wednesday) and a celebration of life is today (Thursday) at Davidson United Methodist Church. I'll place a copy of the obituary below.

Praying that God's Peace will comfort and strengthen Jim's family and friends as they both celebrate his life and mourn his loss.

Thank you Mr Smith for everything you did for Appalachian.
