Sports tend to play a special role in many people’s lives.
For Ollie Smith, sports were his life.
Football. Basketball. Track. Baseball. He was involved with it all.
He coached them. He played them. He was a fan of them.
“His life just evolved around sports,” Scot Smith said of his father, who passed away at age 94 Friday. “Sports meant everything to my dad.”
Smith, whose funeral will be Thursday at 11 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings, may be best know around this area for his coaching.
