Allan Fitzgerald Smith was born on May 6, 1932 and raised on the family farm southwest of Swift Current, Sk. He attended Central School, Beatty Collegiate and the U of S, Vocational Agriculture program. He married Margaret Patricia (Pat) Campbell on October 24, 1953 and together, they built their home and raised their family on the family farm.

Allan had a love of woodworking and building furniture.  Many family members have cherished pieces of his handiwork. He also loved a good card game of Cribbage or Bridge.  He enjoyed going fishing to Robertson Lake with family and friends.  He was an avid and active member of the AG & Ex Fair Board, the Swift Current Kiwanis Club, the Canada West Implement Dealers Association, the Swift Current Rural Water Pipeline, the Southwest Centre for Entrepreneurial Development and numerous other community and provincial boards. He received the Distinguished Graduate in Agriculture Award from the University of Saskatchewan acknowledging his contributions in agriculture and community life in the Swift Current area.

Allan was a strong family man and secure in his faith.  He was a “Jack of ALL Trades” and a master of many.  He loved to socialize and cherished his many friends.
