I remember coming to P.S 15 School in 1972 as a 5th grader. I was terrified. Mr Smith gave me a warm smile that let me know that everything was going to be alright.

I had the pleasure of meeting Coach Smith during my running days at LHS. Mr. Smith always had words of encouragement and comported himself in a manner I admired and respected. I thank God our paths crossed and the impression he left behind. Peace and grace to the family.
