Obituary: Buck Smith, 78, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Feb. 14, 2015 in Kaufman.

Buck was a man who cherished family, friends and fun. He loved people and was the one who was known to always help and there wasn’t a time in his life that he wasn’t giving generously whether it be his time, his effort, or even, in some cases, opening his home to those who needed a steady place to stay as they pulled through their own challenges. He had a great sense of humor that made any gathering the place to be and his ability to have the most fun made sure that everyone had a great time with great memories. When his grandchildren came along, he was then the best grandfather with nothing but their best interests in mind. all had Buck wrapped around their fingers and he often made comments that his life was now more than complete when he was with them. Buck enjoyed hunting and fishing and he had an amazing talent to work on and improve anything mechanical. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do with his hands, however he drew the line at plumbing! An amazingly caring and generous man, Buck will leave a legacy of good times and true devotion to his beloved family and his friends.

Buck is survived by his wife of 53 years, Sue Smith of Kaufman; children: Terry Smith and wife, Joetta, of Lindale, Buck Smith, Jr. and wife, Joy Marie, of Lindale, Rex Smith and wife Tina of Wills Point and Danny Smith of Kaufman; 11 grandchildren: Mandy, Rachel, Dana, Ruth, Miriam, Brandy, Zachary, Chasity, Ashley, Jacob, and Buck; 15 great grandchildren; siblings: Tootsie Turner and husband, Vester, Marsha Trawick and husband, Jim, Joseph Sullins, Richard Sullins, and Rebecca Heflin as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members and a host of friends.

Obituary: Bruce Raymond Smith, 62, died 21, 2015, at his home in Dallas, with his wife, Melanie, and his son, Andrew, by his side.

Bruce was born in Providence, RI, on 28, 1952, and grew up in Cumberland, RI, where he graduated from Cumberland High School in 1970.

As a student at Boston University, Bruce began to fulfill his passion for journalism. He was a reporter and editor-in-chief for The Daily Free Press, BUs independent student newspaper. He received his B.S. in journalism, cum laude, in 1974, and then moved to North Smithfield, RI, to work as the evening reporter and copy editor for The Woonsocket Call.

In 1975, Bruce married his high school sweetheart, Melanie Leasca. For their honeymoon, he took her on a month-long cross-country tour, which was the first of many wonderful vacations they would share during their 39 years of marriage.

Although Bruce was not known to be spontaneous, in 1978 he and Melanie quit their jobs and traveled through Europe for five months with only two small duffel bags. When Bruce and Melanie moved to Texas, they began a tradition of driving to South Padre Island every summer.

returning from the Europe adventure, Bruce worked as a freelance writer from 1979 to 1983 in Stratford, CT. He was published in The New York Times and completed an unpublished manuscript.

Upon moving to Dallas in 1983, Bruce began his high school teaching career. He taught English, Journalism, Government and Social Studies for 27 years. He taught in Dallas Independent School Districts Justin F. Kimball High School and Thomas Jefferson High School. While at Thomas Jefferson, he advised the school yearbook and newspaper and coached boys golf, leading his team to the district championship in 1991-92.

In 1998 he joined the staff of Larry Guinn Special Programs in Plano, Texas, as Team Leader, English Department Chair, and a member of the school leadership team. Under his leadership and years of service, his program assisted more than 3,000 at-risk students in obtaining their high school diplomas.

Among his friends and family, Bruce was known as an excellent cook. He took pride in hosting dinner parties where his culinary talents were on full display. He was also a voracious reader whose favorite authors included John Updike and Ernest Hemingway. He loved talking about books and politics with guests, and his ability to delve into an exciting, yet respectful, political discussion was a testament to his patience and calm demeanor.

When Bruce was not in the kitchen or classroom, he coached his son, Andrews, youth soccer team at the Town North YMCA in Dallas. Together, they shared the fun of Andrews baseball and golf leagues as well as many building projects around the house. As a teacher, Bruce enjoyed summers off, so he and Andrew spent those days golfing at Brookhaven Country Club, even winning the father/son championship one year.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Melanie, and son, Andrew, both of Dallas; mother Sylvia Smith of Lincoln, RI; brother Brian Smith and wife Michele of Cumberland, RI; mother-in-law Constance Leasca of Cumberland, RI; sister-in-law Maria Leasca and husband Scott Thompson of Baltimore; brothers-in-law Thomas Leasca and wife Joslin of South Kingstown, RI, and Arthur Leasca of Cumberland, RI; and his nieces, nephew, and cousins around the country.
He is predeceased by his father, Raymond Smith, and father-in-law, James Leasca.

A celebration of Bruces life will be held at his Dallas home on , 22, 2015, at 3 p.m. It is open to family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to The Daily Free Press http://dailyfreepress.com/
