Frank Edward Smith
My Dad, his big heart and cheeky smile brought people together. He would be so proud that his name was on this special lifeboat. He travelled the world in the Merchant Navy, a time of his life he loved and told us all many a story about. He loved being on the water and had his own boat where he lived on Mersea Island. He loved to laugh and enjoyed a joke, a pint down the pub was always a good time.
He got this life right, laughter and love was how he lived with the biggest smile and warm hugs.
