On July 1,2024, it was with great sadness we announced the passing of our beloved family and friend, William E. Smith, also fondly known as “Pete”. A long-time resident of Oakhurst California, Pete will be greatly missed by the many who knew him. A warm and generous man of many diverse skills was well known for his extraordinary creativity, his multi musical talents, artistry, and unique sense of humor. Employed by many local hospitality establishments over the years, Pete enjoyed a variety of positions and could always be relied upon when and where needed. A true knowledgeable, self-taught “Renaissance” man, he vigorously explored many of life’s most interesting facets through travels and friendships, which memories he generously shared. Although he had no children of his own, he is survived by several nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life is pending at this time and donations to your favorite charity will be welcomed in lieu of flowers.
