Dr. Lonnie Smith was a Hammond organist known for his jazz and soul jazz music. He was greatly admired by many fellow artists and all those who knew him. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and...

Being from Lackawanna myself, I can assure you that it is a serious jazz spot. Thank you Dr. Smith for all the musical joy you gave us, atleast from 1968 to present for me. RIP

With the deepest of heartache, I am saddened that we lost a muscian of such dignity and explosive talent. May heaven greet him with angels to walk him to the stage again to play for all his fans in eternal pleasure.

My deepest condolences to the family. May God give you peace and comfort.

What a loss!! This musical genius was so kind when I met him, I believe at Jazz @ the Bistro aka, Jazz St. Louis, with singer & hometown girl Jazz songstress Alicia Olatuja ! Take a well deserved rest Dr. L.

I am so sorry about the loss of Dr. Lonnie. His smooth fingers across the organ keys will never be forgotten. Thank you Lonnie. My condolences are with the Smith family. I pray that you will be surrounded by the love & support that you need. And may "the God who supplies endurance and comfort" (Roman's 15:5) be with you always.
