Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Thomas ``Tim'' Milton Smith, who passed away on October 11, 2020.

Tim was born to parents Milton and Edwina Smith on August 17, 1940 in Memphis, Tennessee. He grew up in Memphis, graduating from Central Hill School and later attended Northwest Community College.

In 1971, Tim and his wife Janice moved to Horn Lake, Mississippi. Tim's dedication to his country and community were made evident by his service in the United States Army and 40 years of service to the City of Horn Lake. He was a reserve Police Officer for 10 years and an Alderman for 27 years. Additionally, he served three years on the Planning Commission and one year on Design Review. Tim believed in the potential of his beloved city and was widely known for his commitment to its improvement.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Janice; son, Larry Sheffield; daughters Tina Judd and Lee Antley; eight grandchildren, and many other family members.

Thomas ``Tim'' Milton Smith's life was one of service, grace, and love for his family, community, and country. He will be greatly missed by all whom he encountered.
