I'm one of the four nephews, out here in Seattle area. My first memories of Trevor involve a trip to the Cardinals' game in St. Louis, 1955, with my Dad, Ron, Grandpa Lafe–they were singing in the car when we drove back to Decatur! I was also there in 1998 when Trevor got his award for living 50 years after his American Legion team won the regional championship. And I remember his trips out to Seattle in 1962 and 1972 to visit my Dad after his kidney surgeries. Most of all, I remember Trevor being kind to cousin Genevieve and all who met him and played golf with him. He was just one of those people who loved and was loved, and did his job the best he could. We will all miss him dearly.

We knew Trevor through Illinois Power. IP had a mixed bowling league and we were on the same team. We enjoyed these nights of bowling. We always remember Trevor saying "this just isn't my night" when the pins just weren't falling. You have our sympathy. He will be missed but you always have good memories.

I am Trevor Smith's niece; daughter of Merwyn Smith, his brother. I still remember visiting my Uncle Trev, Aunt Jeanne and cousin Ron in Decatur every few years on our summer vacations. Uncle Trev would make sure that we were all comfortable and happy to be there!We had traveled by car from Washington State and we knew that we would be well-fed and rested up at the Smith's so that we could continue visiting other relatives in Illinois.My mother and I last visited in 1986 and Trev and Jeanne took us to many places, including Springfield to visit Lincoln's Tomb and home, and to Ron's house for dinner. They were wonderful hosts, and we had such a good time!Thank you, Uncle Trev, for being one of my favorite relatives, and I'm glad we were able to talk on the phone a few times.Farewell"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure"

A few years ago I began calling and writing to Trevor. He and my father were cousins. I don't know if I ever met Trevor, but it is possible that he attended one of the family reunions in Mulberry Grove, IL, when I was a young girl. I really enjoyed our conversations, and cherish the copy of the news article about the Decatur Grays that Trevor sent to me. It is now part of the Smith genealogy. Every time we go to St. Pete, I will think of Trevor; he was special. Sincerely, Mary Lou
