Leland L.G. Skip Smith

went online looking to reconnect and was sad to learn I have lost the chance. We worked together at Student Travel and shared a few crazy stories. Grateful to learn of the satisfactions of his life after Europe.

Skip was my husband Jeff Smith's uncle!
I come from childhood of despair, abuse, and neglect. Which made being around people who have the opposite lives very uncomfortable!! I have a hard time around people in general! Never feeling wanted or good enough! But, Skip had a way of making me feel loved and cared about from the minute we met! He made me feel like I had known him my whole life! He always spent time trying to get to know more about me and special! He loved our son and my...

Although I never had the real opportunity to to know "Skip" as closely as I wish I had ! . Being someone new to the family having married skips nephew Jeff Smith. He showed me so much genuine care and paid so much want in knowing as much as he could not only about me, but what makes me ~me... He made me feel like a part of the family! Which was a feeling he had no idea I was really suffering in my struggle to feel! I suffer ptsd from horrific childhood neglect and trauma and grew up very...

Skip was a great guy and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. He was the first attorney I met and worked with early in my 40 year career with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. He was smart, quick-witted and even in some very serious situations could bring a bit of humor to the room. It was all business during work hours, but we did have some fun times after 5:00 p.m. My deepest sympathy to his family and to all who knew him.

I loved my uncle Skip unconditionally. I will have a hole in my heart forever. Just like my Mommy and Mini, never got to say goodbye. Love you so much and hope your lovely spirits fly like angels.

Skip was oh so competent as a skilled attorney. But more importantly he was a sincere, caring & devoted friend & colleague. Always fun to be around, he always had a funny story to tell & his quick witted humor left you feeling better. We are all fortunate to have been in his orbit.
Respect & love to all his family.
