Roderick Earl Smith

Bob Watson will be surely missed

I am very saddened to learn of Rod's passing. I have known you since college and from Greek letter life. A very good person and skilled attorney. Praying for the family.

Roderick was a friend at first sight. I was finishing Law School as he started. A sincere, thoughtful, and astute person indeed. Kind even when crushing me in Madden Football in 1993. As we both set out in our careers and focused on raising our families, time passed quickly. Yet, our friendship remained. Unassuming, proud of his wife and Children he was most certainly. Respect for him - immense. Sorrow for the palpable void that we, his many friends, will always feel. Heartfelt...

I'm so sorry just found out today at court I knew I had hired the right man but not soon enough gosh he was a critical thinker. I was sure there wasn't a reason he wasn't coming to stand beside me. I'm so sorry for all your lose I'm lost too.

Roderick was a law school class mate of mine at UMKC and also a local practitioner who was always friendly and welcoming whenever I encountered him. I'm sad I won't see him at court or class reunions anymore. .. Sincerest condolences to those who loved him most.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I knew Roderick and will never forget his smile.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. You're in our prayers for strength, peace and Divine guidance now and in your future times of grief.

My condolences. I am deeply saddened for your loss. He will be missed
