61 Never Forgotten

Tony Gabriel #77, CFL Hall of Famer "#61 on his jersey, #1 in our hearts. Keep the memory alive Darin. TG#77". Thomas Caldwell, Chairman Caldwell Securities "Bruce Smith was without a doubt the most caring and giving person I have ever known."



Orville Lee, 1988 CFL Rookie of the Year "This book embodies the importance of positive people doing positive things in each other's lives."



Words from Darin:



As athletes we don't necessarily understand the influence we have, we can pay it forward, inspire others in whatever sport we are in, and make effective changes in people's lives. That is what I take-away from my relationship with Bruce. Like Michael Orr said and it can't be any more correct... "I beat the odds - we can't help the circumstances we are born into, just because we started there we don't have to end up there." This is equally true for me in my life and Bruce in his. I hope that we all learn from Bruce'slegacy so thathis spirit liveson in allof us. Remember my friend.
