Not sure what to say?

Still regard as one of finest men I´ve known

I am so very sorry to hear of Dr. Smith's passing. He cared for both my parents for many years. My mother always thought it "divine providence" that he was her cardiologist as her name, like his wife's, was Mary Catherine also. His name was a household word in my parents' home ~ no matter what the ailment, friends and family would ask "What does Dr. Smith say?" He was a fine man, a fine doctor. I am so very sorry for your loss.

the most dedicated physicians I had the honor to know and count as a friend. A true inspiration to me and never to be forgotten

I worked with Dr. Smith in the Cardiac Cath Lab at Osborn Campus from 1992-2005. Dr. Smith was a pioneer in interventional cardiac procedures and a VERY good man.

I met him at some Masonic activity, I...

To the Smith Family we send our thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Smith while attending college at Arizona State University with his daughter Suzanne.

Without Suzanne's friendship and caring nature, I'm not sure I would have made it to graduation. Thank you Dr. Smith for your service and for raising an amazing family.

Sending love from New Martinsburg.
