    I absolutely admired and adored Dr. Smith. He was my faculty advisor when I became a philosophy-religion major along with Paul Taylor. I am so sad to learn of his passing almost 3 years to the date. He and Nancy brought much joy to my life personally and academically, times I will never ever forget. A smile from him was worth so much, whether in or outside of class. So very sorry I did not connect with him before he passed; but I will never forget him and the joy he brought to my life and my very soul. How I dearly loved him and still do.
