Thomas Smith Jr.

Was sorry to hear of Mr.Smith passing, he was special.

I am saddened to hear of Tom's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Smith Family.

Senator Smith's efforts on behalf of adoptees and birthparents will always be appreciated by me. He touched the lives of many. May God bless his family.

To the Family of Senator Smith, It certainly doesn't need to be said, but it should be, Senator Smith was one of the best among us, a true gentleman, well respected and highly thought of by all those he happened to come across. He brightened many a day by his countenance and demeanor. It was an honor and a pleasure to have worked with him. My condolences to those who so loved him.

I had a case against a client of Tom's and found him to be forthright, upright, honest, scrupulous, courteous, gentlemanly and the model of a good attorney. I extend my sincere condolences to his family. The South Carolina Bar and the State of South Carolina have lost a true gentleman. It should be of some comfort that his high standards were recognized, admired and appreciated. God bless his family! --Paul D. de Holczer, Esq.

I worked with Senator Smith in the Golden Age of the S.C. Senate in the 1980's and 1990's. Senator Smith was the epitome of a Southern Gentleman. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I know he will be missed by his family and friends, but the State of South Carolina will miss him also. I wish we had more like him in Columbia.

Dear Members of the Smith Family, My deepest thoughts are with you at this sad time. Smitty was the finest friend that I was privileged to know, respect and admire in high school. He certainly will be missed by so many whose lives he touched with his gentleness and kindness.

Please continue to know that our wise God is more than enough for you, as you proceed beyond this point. Miss Mr. Smith, "Smitty" but let him rest in the peace that he worked so hard to attain. God Bless you, and I will be in touch soon.
