He was a painter as his father before him. I think he got Parkinson's Disease in 1955.
Ansel Clyde (AC) Smith, Clyde’s dad was a patient at CCC for a long time. He suffered with Parkinson’s disease, until he died on 8 November 1972. When his wife, Margaret put him in the home all he had were slippers that he shuffled around in. I gave AC a pair of Ron’s size 6 boys shoes and one day he walked out the side door, crossed Jurupa Avenue and then crossed Brockton Avenue. The nurses really watched him after that. Margaret had divorced him. On 8 February 1964 she married Robert (Bob) Martin. Ansel was born in 1900.First-hand information as remembered by Gerald Smith, Tuesday, February 24, 2015.
Ancel was born in 1900. He passed away in 1972. First-hand information as remembered by Gerald Smith, Monday, March 2, 2015.
