Albert K. "Bert" Smiley III

Six years out and I still miss my beloved brother in law Bert...He was the bravest man I've ever met. May we meet again and a down a few sloe gin fizzes on the veranda! With love, always, no matter where or when, from your silly brother-in-law... -- David Harp Feldman

My wife Dr Dalal Smiley and I (Keith Smiley), had the pleasure of meeting Albert III whilst we were visiting NYC, and a country trip to Mohonk. 'Bert' is my 5th cousin; a gentleman, showing us hospitality and cordiality. We later exchanged emails and he showed great interest in the growth and experiences of our family. He is sadly missed but he leaves an excellent record of stewardship. We live in Melbourne, Australia, descendant of the same grandfather down the line. To Nina and the Smiley...

The "arrow of time" continues its journey. For most of us, a one-way motion. But to lovingly remember is to bring into the present.
It is two years now, but/and Bert is alway present in the lives of me and my family — both in memory, and in the ongoing consequences of his always wise and thoughtful actions and gifts, and in his effect on my children, his beloved nieces Katie and Lily.
With great love and admiration always from his Brother-in-Law, David.
Rest in Peace, Dear...

It's almost a year, and I still miss Bert.
He was both wise and kind.
And although he did not generally suffer fools gladly (if at all), he made an exception for me -- in my earlier and more foolish years as his brother-in-law -- and I will never stop appreciating that.
Rest in Peace, Dear Friend and Brother

I was a waiter at mohonk for a short time years ago it was always a pleasure to have the family sit at your station. rest in peace
