Not sure what to say?

Was a friend and classmate on the same San Carlos, Junipero and Monterey High path with Chris. Nothing but positive memories of a great guy. I occasionally run across my elementary school class pictures of the 25 or so of us and especially smile every time seeing Chris. With about half the class being boys, we were all definitely a band of brothers! So sorry to hear this and that we never stayed in touch. Condolences to his family.

My dad was always my hero. He loved the outdoors and being outside made him soo happy. I remember our camping trips to Big Sur and him teaching me how to catch crawdads in the river. He also loved sports, baseball was his favorite I remember him spending hours with me playing catch and making sure I didn’t throw “like a girl”. There will always be a whole in my heart that misses him everyday. I love you so much Dad!

Chris Smith was a boyscout Troop 97. He was in the Shark Patrol with me when I was 12, I think Chris was 14. Scout Master Randy Orella took us hiking up to Pat Springs (aka Big Pines) We took the long way home via Rattlesnake Canyon to Dutch Creek to Los Padres Dam. It got dark we had to hop rocks with our flashlights. The water of the dam backed up and got deep. I couldnt swim, I was frightened. We tied a long rope around our wastes in the dark we had to stop and rest. We went back...

I met Chris at Junipero as a freshman and we graduated from MHS in 1972. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a trick up his sleeve. My thoughts are with his whole family.

Chris and I were friends through the San Carlos and Monterey High years. Lost touch after the college years but ironically last week, I tried to search for him and a few other San Carlos school mates on Facebook. I remember Chris as being fun, and an always happy person. So sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his wife and family. RIP Chris.

Chris was a wonderful husband and father. He will be missed by family and friends. All my love Chris. I miss you so much. Love Sandy
