Officer Steve Smith was much more than a good officer...he was a police legend! As long as we continue to walk this earth, we will no longer see that smile or feel your encouraging pats on our backs. Our city just got a little bit more dangerous...the sun became a bit darker...and, a star somewhere has fallen out of the sky. Until we meet again, enjoy your well-earned place in Paradise.
