Poem

His knowledge was his untapped wellspring,
After 93 years of learning anew;
He valued knowing something about everything, 
From construction & farming, to baseball & screws. 

Early in life, a dairy farm taught him, 
To think on his feet, with vast common sense;
Learning math at the sawmill, he estimated lumber, 
And rebuilt old motors, appliances & fences. 

For years he delivered, automobile parts, 
To Tar Heel cities & Outer Banks towns;
Till one day, Wayne County rewarded his smarts, 
With leadership to run, their buildings and grounds. 

A Lion's Club/Odd Fellow—active for decades, 
Making differences in the lives of many;
A loyal church member, a Jack of all trades, 
Directing great efforts, that helped countless plenty! 

Later in life, he started Smith’s Crafts,
With Logs that told Weather--Cow Clocks that told time;
Wrote a book on a bell, he loved to autograph, 
Reading local history aloud, literary passion sublime! 

His legacy is people, warm and loving, 
Celebrating them in visits near and far;
Shelton Eugene Smith, Sr. a one-of-a-kind,
Honored by many, remembered by all! 

(In honor & Memory of one of the world’s most fascinating men)
