Carl William Smith

Dear Hunter,
I am sad that you are without Carl.I think you will remember that I worked for Carl before Amvest..I have movies of you both at my wedding in 1966 out in Earlysville. Carl taught me to have self confidence and I credit him for so much of my work ethics.He was like a father to me and I hated leaving Charlottesville because it meant leaving his employ.
My very best to you and your family. Someday when I'm in
Charlottesville seeing relatives, I will give you a...

Hunter,
I was very sorry to hear of Carl's death. He was a true friend. Those years that we were all together in Charlottesville will never be forgotten.
I regret that I was unable to attend the memorial service but I was represented by my grandson, Jim Woolford.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I never met Carl Smith. However, I graduated in 1983 from Clinch Valley College and there was no football team at that time. I talked with several professors who are still at the school and they were all so excited when Mr. Smith gave CVC the wonderful donation for its football team. How wonderful for him to think about the folks at home after all this time. So many people forget that UVa has had a branch in Wise County for decades. Mr. Smith did not forget. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Hunter, I was saddened to hear of the loss of Carl. I only met him a few times when I started to work at AMVEST Osage in 2002. I was taken by his keen sense of encouragement with our project. I truly belieive he was a great businessman and philanthropist. You and your family are in our prayers. I wish you many blessings in the days and months ahead.

My deepest sympathy to the Smith Family.

I learned only this morning of Carl's passing due to being away from home over the weekend.

I had the privilege to work for Carl for 10 years and treasure the memories from that time and the fine people I worked with at AMVEST. I especially remember the give and take about Hokie vs. UVA Football.

Mr. Smith will be missed greatly.

Dear Hunter,

I am so sorry for your loss. I think Carl would believe it is for the best. He was like a father for me at times, and more than anything, a friend I could try to emulate. Sadly, it was too brief a time, but he will provide me - and I think everyone - with fond memories. You will be in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Eric

Hunter, Hunter Lee, Carl V, and Stuart,
I know this must be a difficult time for all of you. Carl was a wonderful man and I enjoyed the 13 years I worked for him. He was certainly unique; I admired his work ethics, his honesty and integrity. Treasure your wonderful memories!! You are in my prayers.

With sincere sympathy,
Barbara

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Smith family. My thoughts and prayers are with you today. I will always remember Carl as an incredibly hard-working man. Deborah White
