This page is dedicated to the memory of Richard Clifford Smith — a devoted father, retired New York State police officer, and lifelong adventurer who carried an unwavering love for children in his heart.

Richard believed in kindness, service, and making the world better for the next generation. In his honor, we are raising funds for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, where his daughter, Julia Smith, proudly works to carry on that same spirit of compassion and care.

Supporting this hospital not only uplifts children and families in need, but it also honors Richard’s legacy of love, protection, and generosity — especially toward the youngest among us.

If you feel moved to give, thank you. Your support is a beautiful way to remember a man who gave so much.
