DR. JOHN ALLEN SMITH D.D.S.

Most of my memories of Johnny are from my parents stories of the Smith Family. They were neighbors and became close friends while living and working in Oak Ridge, Tn. during and after WWII. I was always inspired by Johnny and Bev so much so that I almost went into dentistry. He truly was one of those guys you wanted to be like. I always looked forward to the letters and cards from them especially at Christmas to see the family and how they had grown. Memories are a wonderful thing to hold...

Dr. Smith was not only our family dentist while I was growing up in North Canton, but he the inspiration for me to become a dentist. I was in college and trying to make decisions about my future career. At an appointment with him during my Spring Break, John suggested a career in Dentistry, saying, as only John could, that it was a "pretty good racket." He encouraged me throughout dental school and even offered to add on to his office if I should decide to return to North Canton to...

My deepest sympathy to the...family during this difficult time of Sorrow...PSALMS 9:9 GOD will become a secure refuge for the Oppressed,A secure refuge in times of distress.

Dr. Smith was one in a million....never will be another like him. He was amazing, to say the least. My condolences to the family and to any one that will feel this loss in their hearts and souls.

Loved this man. He was my dentist until he retired. Never found another dentist as caring and with the personality he had.
My condolences to the family and prayers.Patricia Lewers
