The Smith family and OEC sadly announce today the passing of our founder, Gary Smith. Gary created the amazing business that we are today, but also made time for 4H, boat racing, hunting and fishing, his farm, and of course, his family first. Gary was a one of a kind boss who touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. There are people that pass through our world who were an honor to know, and if you were fortunate to have known Gary, you will know he was one of them. He will be missed.
