Red was born on November 30, 1954 in Sioux City, Iowa to John D. and Frances B. (Heath) Smith. He received his education from Hinton High School, in Hinton, Iowa. He will be remembered for this kindness and generosity. Red retired from working from the packing house industry. Regardless of what Red did, he was the boss!
