Arnold Smith Remembered
On Nov 23 Friday, Arnold passed away after having suffered a stroke the night before. Arnold was 92 years old and the longest playing member of the SBTTC. His defense and love for the game were infectious.
For many years he hosted the Elkhart TTC at the High Dive Pavilion. Often he paid the $50 nightly rent out of his pocket to keep the club going. Arnold also enjoyed doing the South Bend club ratings and posting
them each week. Marcia (wife) and Arnold have supported SBTTC for many years. Marcia always bringing home baked treats for the Thursday league. His son and daughter bringing him every week down from
Benton Harbor to get out of the house and play the one sport he truly love - Table Tennis.
He will be missed each and every Thursday where he and Marcia sat. Rest in Peace my Good Man!
