UPDATE — Visitation Information for Luther Jefferson “Sparky” Smith
I received a message from Candy Smith, Sparky’s sister:
“Luther Jefferson “Sparky” Smith is in New Haven Memory Care in Wylie. He is very isolated and would love some visitors from time to time. He will be confused about things that are current but his days in the Fire Dept. are vivid and his favorite subject to reminisce. Sparky’s wife, Rosemary, passed away in June of 2021.”
I checked with New Haven and they welcome visitors at any time. If you are ever in the area, drop by and visit with him for a bit. I have included the phone number of New Haven below for information but the only way to talk to Sparky is to visit in person. (rgf)
