THEODORE SMITH
Theodore Smith, better known as Pete, passed away on May 24, 2015. He was 88 years young. Pete was an avid golfer and spent his retirement years doing only what he loved. He served as a Marine in WWII, lying about his age so that he could stand and fight for our freedom. His passion was life and he was always there to help anyone who needed it. Even though his exterior was sometimes gruff, he had the heart, mind and soul of a poet.

Tommy loved his family very much and was there in any way he could for all of them. He was also a great missionary. We hear continually, how he has helped someone along the way. He ALWAYS put others first. Tommy had a vision of the ultimate community, where everyone put their resources together and there was no lack. He went throughout Loudoun County and into Maryland before politicians, pastors, preachers, anyone he could meet with to present this plan. We believe Tommy was working out God’s heart for His people in bringing them all together. Although he did not see this mission come to fruition, God’s Word is still effective, and we are to have the same goal. “If My people, who are called by My name, would humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chron. 7:14).
