John L. Smith

FORT PIERRE - On May 7, 2011, Johnny Smith's trail of life led him to heaven where he joined the cowboy greats who have passed before him. John L. Smith was born July 3, 1944, in Presho to True and Wilma (Scott) Smith. He attended grade school at the Consolidated Country School south of Fort Pierre. He attended Pierre Riggs High and graduated in 1962. After graduation Johnny attended South Dakota State University until the time he went to the Fort Smith (Ark.) Auctioneer School. He served as a member of the South Dakota National Guard from 1966-1972. He married Janice Gray in 1967 and went to work for Leif Hanson at Fort Pierre Livestock Auction. He then partnered with Jess Shaull, Nathan Shaull, and Hoss Roseland at the Highmore Sale Barn and then returned to the Fort Pierre Livestock Auction in 1984, and remained there until his death. He took special interest in announcing any events he could - you could recognize his voice over the speakers at many 4-H rodeos, Casey Tibbs Match of Champions, Horse Races, benefit auctions, Fourth of July rodeos and parades, as well at the Sale Barn doing what he loved best. He could be heard every Saturday morning on the radio with the cattle report and of course his support of the agricultural world.

He was an instrumental founder for R-Calf and was still a board member at the time of his death. One of his greatest achievements was the Casey Tibbs Rodeo Center and he served as a proud board member there as well. Known as Johnny Claus to many children, Christmas was one of his favorite times of the year. Anywhere from shopping at all hours of the night to stringing Christmas lights with the help of his recruits, he enjoyed it all. You didn't have to be family to get a gift as he supplied presents to children who may have otherwise not had a Christmas. He was president of the South Dakota Livestock Auction Markets Association from 1996-1998. In 1999 he was honored by the Black Hills Angus Association as Angus promoter. R-Calf honored him for outstanding service and support of the U.S. Cattle Industry in 2006. He received the SDSU Friend of the Beef Industry Award in 2006, was inducted into the Casey Tibbs Hall of Fame in 2010 as Rodeo promoter, as well as being honored for his 36-years of announcing the Fourth of July Rodeo in 2010. While these were only a few of many he was an honored ambassador for the cattle industry logging many miles from coast to coast. He will always be honored as the world's greatest uncle and grandpa. Survivors include his mother, Wilma Smith of Fort Pierre; a sister, Patsy Aiken of Spearfish; three brothers, Larry (Mona) Smith and Cody (Sarah) Smith, all of Fort Pierre, and Ben (Wendy) Smith of Pierre; and nieces and nephews, Tanner and Tessa Aiken, Sarah, Taylor and Nicole Smith, Casey (Monica) Smith and Amanda (AJ) Stoeser, and Jessica, Baillie, and Maddie Smith.

Lucille A. David

RAPID CITY - Lucille Allene (Johnson) David, 89, Rapid City, joined her eternal family and loving husband, R. Harold David, on Friday, May 6, 2011. Lucille was born June 1, 1921, to Hurshel and Nellie Johnson at home near Winfield, Kan. Lucille shared many happy memories of her childhood growing up on the family farm near Winfield, where she also graduated from Winfield High School in 1939. At that time, she also met the love of her life, Harold on Easter Sunday 1939 at Hicks Chapel. They were married Jan. 31, 1942, at the First Methodist Church in Wichita, Kan., and celebrated 67 years of love and devotion to one another. During WWII, Lucille worked for the FBI in Wichita, as a secretary. While still living in Wichita she and Harold became the proud parents of their two sons, Tony and Larry. Harold's new career with Rushmore Mutual Life Insurance Co. took them to Rapid City and the beautiful Black Hills in 1949. Soon their daughter, Jan, arrived completing their family. Lucille and Harold were founding members of Canyon Lake Methodist Church where she served as secretary for many years. She was very involved in many of the church activities including serving as president of the Canyon Lake WSCS and president of the United Church Women. Lucille and Harold have since been long-time members of the First United Methodist Church. Lucille also enjoyed selling Avon for several years and enjoyed many happy hours playing bridge with her girlfriends. It was through her tremendous creative talents including artwork, sewing, knitting, gardening and making delicious meals that she provided a beautiful, fun and loving home for her family. Lucille was so very proud of the life that she and Harold created side-by-side through love and much hard work. As Harold's wife, she provided the sparkle in his eye and, with complete devotion, supported him throughout his career. Lucille spent every day by Harold's side during his long illness until his death in November 2009. They were able to celebrate many happy occasions together and enjoyed traveling to all 50 states and many foreign countries delighting us all with her incredible stories. As our mother and Grammy, she showed her endless support and tremendous pride at each accomplishment made by her children and made each of us feel uniquely special and so very loved. She is survived by her two sons, Robert A. "Tony" David (Dolores) Tucson, Ariz., and Larry M. David (Tina Carter), Black Hawk; her daughter, Jan A. Hopkins (James), Rapid City; and one remaining sister, Nancy J. Fitz, Andover, Kan. Lucille is also survived by three beloved grandchildren, Krista David Lantz (Leonard), Jason C. Gilmore (Debora), and Nicole M. Parkhill (Jim); and five great-grandchildren, Mackenzi, Maya, Monica and Max Gilmore and Lucy Lantz. Additionally, Lucille and Harold had three stepgrandchildren, James Hopkins, Michael Hopkins and Danielle Hopkins Buchanan. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harold; her parents; three brothers; and two sisters. A private inurnment will be held by her children with the Rev. Doug Diehl officiating. Lucille's friends will be welcomed to a special musical celebration of her life being planned with the date to be announced.
