I attended CTBC as a child with my grandmother Carrie. Rev. Smith was always known as "Uncle Rev. Smith." He will always be remembered as that nice and loving man of God. You will be truly missed. Rest in Paradise "Uncle Rev. Smith"

My memory of Allen Smith was when I was a little girl and he came over to our house with my brother (Rev. Roger P. Felson) his roommate at Elmhurst College. He sat with me and let me recite nursery rhymes to him. Many years past and the next time I saw him was at my brother's funeral. He gave me a hug and flashed his wonderful smile and I felt like a little girl again. To family and friends let us hold on to all the memories of Allen and know he is still with us in our hearts.

This news comes with incredible sadness to me and my whole family. Allen was my father's roommate (Rev. Roger P. Felson) at Elmhurst College. My middle name is Allen, in recognition of their fine friendship. I always remember Allen as a very kind person, and appreciated his wonderful words at my father's memorial service. Prayers to all those who knew him and were touched by his service.

This hurts my heart. As my pastor at Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church from its founding until he left, Reverend Smith formed the foundation of my spiritual life. He was such a great teaching preacher that I still remember his sermons and how to apply them to my life. He was also a personal family friend.
Rest in Paradise, Reverend Smith. You have done your calling and left us all better for it.

Always had a great spirit at First Church of Deliverance. He aways sat on the second row near the center isle. He will be missed. His kindness will live on in his friends and those he meet during his journey on earth.
