Carl Mack Smith

Mr. Carl Smith passed peacefully on March 18, 2021 at Savannah Health Care at the age of 92, with his daughter and son-in-law at his side after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

He was born April 23, 1929, in Clifton, Tennessee, to Alfred and Rixie Smith. He was a hard worker, working two jobs most of his life: jobs ranging from farmer, inventor, mechanic, and businessman. He was always keeping busy. He retired from GM Fisher Body Plant after 37 years.

Carl had a full life and made many friends wherever he went. He always had a smith and a joke when you saw him. He was known for his dashing looks and his fedora hat.
