Paul AnthonySMITHPaul Anthony Smith, known to many as Smithy, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family after a brave battle with motor neurone disease.

A devoted partner to Rebecca, Paul was a loving and proud Dad to Lee, Sean, Isabel, Archie and Isaac. He was a treasured Grandad to Jay, Millie, Oscar, Laila, Hunter, Iris, Indie and Noah.

Paul will be remembered for his strength and humour. He faced his illness with courage, never losing his sense of humour or the deep care he had for his family. Paul will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him and will forever remain in our hearts.

Uncle Paul,

We had some good times together, shame we lost contact.

You got me into some scrapes but equally got me out of as many.

Far too young to leave the world, you were the funniest person I have ever had the honour of knowing and calling you my Uncle.

Thanks for everything, especially the memories.

You will be sorely missed by everyone!

Sleep well up there my friend, and try to stay out of trouble lol
