Bang, you're outta here

Kinda touching but kinda creepy, too:

Meredith Smith takes part in his final fireworks show Thursday night.

Smith died in February at the age of 74. For nearly 40 years, he was in charge of the fireworks displays for his north side Indianapolis neighborhood and the White River Yacht Club.

About a half-teaspoon of Smith's ashes will be placed in a fireworks shell that will create a white burst in the sky for the finale of the annual show.

I hear dead people!
