Ralph E. Smith Jr.

Ralph E. Smith, Jr. “Smitty”, born May 30, 1952 passed away Sept. 4, 2018. Preceding him in death were his parents Ralph E. Smith, Sr. and Goldie Peeples Smith. Ralph graduated from Guardian Angel grade School, and El Paso Technical High School (70), and attended UTEP. Smitty was employed by Southern Pacific Railroad/ Union Pacific Railroad and retired after 40 years. Ralph’s joy was laughing & being with people. He truly experienced both with his long association with the Southwest KOI and Pond Assoc. (SKAPA). He said it was the best thing to happen to him, and served as president. Ralph is survived by his sister, Cecilia E. Smith of Las Vegas, NV, his uncles Harvey Peeples of Cheyenne, Wyoming and Oliver Peeples of Rex Georgia, and many cousins and friends. They will all miss his cheerful attitude. A special thank you to Lorraine Chavez for her care and friendship.
