"Smitty" as he was affectionately known, was not educated past highschool but he held surprising insights into the natural world we all grew up in. We had lots of adventures together in our youth and he was always cheerful, upbeat and doggedly-loyal to all of his close friends. He had a baby raccoon for a pet as a teenager (which was arguably defining for him) who we would feed crayfish to as we went fishing together. Makes me smile to think of it.

Ray Simard, of Dublin, NH, passed last year, at 90... Both gentlemen are greatly missed by their friends and customers... For doublegun repairs, no one locally have the skills nor expertise to replace "Old Ed" and Ray... keep it simple and keep it safe...
