Charlie Curtis Smith, age 74, passed away Tuesday evening at his home. Born in Wayne County, NC, he was the son of the late Chester Charlie “Pep” Smith and Sally Beatrice Allen Smith. Charlie was a 1968 graduate of Charles B. Aycock, where was a member of the FFA, a football player, and on the swim team. An avid fisherman, he was always making sure his ATV permit was renewed every January so he could join his fishing buddies on their annual trips to the Outer Banks. He was also a strong Duke Blue Devils fan, enjoyed watching Westerns, and loved feeding “his” fish, birds, squirrels, rabbits, and any other critters in his yard. He was a retired Maintenance Supervisor with Walmart Stores, Inc.
