Bruce “DogBone” Smith, age 71 of Sandwich, IL died at his home on Saturday, January 7, 2023. He was born on June 27, 1951 in Moose Lake, MN the son of Ellard and Dorothy (Hennes) Smith. He worked for many years at Midwest Siding and really enjoyed working as a crossing guard for the Plano School District. He loved his family, fishing, horseshoes, and his I can’t seem to win a Super Bowl VIKINGS. He loved gathering with his family at anytime and at all the holidays, especially Christmas. We are so very grateful we had one last Christmas with him. He was very much loved, and we will miss him terribly.
He is survived by his wife Marcia of forty-six years; his daughter, Melissa (Mike) Brown and their children, Dylan and Ellis; his son, Jason (Norma) Smith and their children, Kassandra (Tony), Cameron (Cloeh) and Payton; his great- grandchildren, Camden, Cohen and his soon to be born great grand-daughter; his sister in law Diane, nephews and cousins; and his friend Rich Verdyne who was always there for him no matter what.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Mark, and the family puppy Maggie. Sweet Dreams… See you on the flip flop.
