THE DEATH of John Smith, Drumalea.
The recent passing of John Smith of Drumalea Farm, affectionately known as Father John, has undoubtedly resulted in a profound loss to our community of a truly good man.
Born on October 9, 1925, the son of Donald and Catherine (Millar) Smith, he attended Kilchenzie Primary School, when sports days with neighbouring schools enabled lifelong friendships to be formed, albeit with a few bruised ankles as souvenirs.
