Buddy had a passion for horses. Riding, trading, training and boarding them. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren, and was the best husband, father, and grandfather that anyone could ask for. No matter where, no matter what, he kept his family together as a unit.
He prided himself on his preparedness, evidenced by always carrying a knife, a pen, and a handkerchief, a trait he tried to pass on to everyone he met. He loved his country, having served in the United States Army during the Vietnam Conflict. He traveled far and wide, spent parts of his life living in Kansas, Arkansas, and here in Louisiana, making lifelong friends every step of the way. He was preceded in death by his parents; Clyde and Sue Ellen Reames Smalley, brother Thomas Smalley, 3 sisters; Cindy Boatman, Lindsey Tallent, and Heather Smalley.
