I met Dr. Smith when I sold him a home in Omaha when he started work at Creighton. He was a friend of Steve Taylor, a real estate agent in Lincoln, NE. who referred him to me. What a nice, kind gentleman I found him to be. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and sympathy to the family.

I remember Jeff from our mutual time at Creighton. His was an amazing spirit. Holding all who love him in the Light.
