Hank Smith rode off into his final sunset in Tallassee, Alabama on Monday, November 8, 2021.

Hank was a colorful character and led a colorful life. He had a variety of interests during his life. He was a bull rider, ranch hand, cow catcher and worked numerous jobs in between.

His knowledge and guidance of cattle and horses will be greatly missed. He had a great sense of humor and always had a joke.
