Earl Smith Jr.

I called him Mr Smith while attending NHS.He really was a great human being.Im sorry about his passing Peter Falvey

I worked with Earl as a negotiator for the Ct. Federation of School Administrators during the late 80s and early 90s. He was one of my mentors in the art of contract negotiations and I learned from Earl much of what I continue to use today as I negotiate for school administrators. A great man who will be sorely missed! Our condolences and prayers to the family of Earl Smith.

Mr. Smith was one of my favorite teachers. My deepest sympathy to the Smith family.

Dear Vera and family..."Earl the Pearl" as I often referred to him was indeed a unique, understanding, compassionate, fun guy. Earl was also a mentor to me and to others throughout our days as Educators. Earl was largely responsible for encouraging my position on the Zoning Board of Appeals for which am grateful...You are all in our prayers...God Bless

I graduated NHS in 1963. Earl was one of my favorite teachers. I took English and Latin classes from him. I recall his openness, his fun and his balanced approach. I'm sorry he no longer walks the walk and talks the talk on this earth plane. So sorry for your loss.

My prayers go out to all of the Smith family. I highly respected Mr. Smith through my school years and felt comfortable being able to talk to him. He will be missed

To The Family of Earl Smith, Jr.,

We are very sorry for your loss. Earl was a very close friend to my Dad, Norman Kaback. We know they are now having some laughs together. Our thoughts and prayers to you.

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, a great man, Wendyann Fowler, Naugatuck, CT

I am saddened to read of Earl's passing. He and I were close friends during our grammar school days at St. Patrick's in Hartford, and I knew his sisters and parents quite well. I visited them often on Chestnut St. And Albany Ave. We last met at a class reunion a few years ago, and had some fond reminiscences. May he rest in peace and God bless all of you.
