Read MoreI was a student at Queens when Dr. Smylie succeeded Dr. Walker as president of the college. I thought he was a very kind person, and he took time to talk with students. I know he will be greatly missed by his family.

I met Dr. Smylie when I worked for Mr. Paul Bell at the Cypress. He certainly lived up to his name as he always had the most cheerful smile on his face every time I saw him & his lovely wife. My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Smylie & the family on the loss of a truly remarkable man, husband, father & friend. May God be with you as you struggle to cope with your loss.
