Chester "Pops" Smith passed away June 26, 2011 at 7:00 a.m. in Baytown, Texas after suffering a severe stroke last week. All who knew Chester will miss him. His footsteps will be difficult to fill. Please visit Chester's blog to read comments from friends and family. You may also tell us your store. We would like to capture these stories for friends and family.
