Not sure what to say?

Wendell and I attended the U o U and were members of the Sigma Chi fraternity. We shared many memorable experiences together while at the "U". What an honorable guy. I trusted him as a person and a surgeon....he operated on my college aged daughter nearly 30 yrs ago, she has been forever grateful.

I am sorry for your loss. May "the God of peace," (2Thess. 3:16) be with you as you remember your loved one on this day. Please take care.

only knew Wendell for a short time....so pleased to have had the experience.....xoxo

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Wendell Smoot. He was a wonderful man, a kindred spirit and one of the best bosses I have ever had the pleasure to work for. I was very sad that I just learned of his passing and hope his beautiful wife Monetta and his brother Dr. John Smoot and the family are finding peace and love during this time of loss and sadness. I feel grateful to have know this amazing man.

Dear Monetta,

I was so sorry to hear of Wendell's passing. I will always remember him for his calm manner and kindness. My heart goes out to you and your family. Please know that my prayers are with you. With love.

I went to high school with Wendall, and his parents were friends of my parents. I've enjoyed seeing him at high school reunions since. Wendall is such a fine person. I'm happy for his release from pain and suffering, and wish all the best to his family.

Our family were patients of Dr. Smoot and we continue to be grateful for his excellence. We are so sorry to hear of his passing and extend our sympathies to his family.

We are grieving the loss of Wendell, but know that he is finally without pain. How grateful that we spent a week with the Smoots at their log cabin in Idaho in mid September. We had a wonderful float trip down the Snake River with Wendell aboard despite the discomfort from his back pain. He was eagerly awaiting the October back surgery despite the risks. May he now rest in peace. Our love and prayers to Monetta.

I, too, am a surgeon in San Diego County and was well aware of Wendell's excellent reputation as a plastic surgeon. Wendell and I were fraternity brothers at the University of Utah where he was loved and very well respected. He had a subtle sense of humor, and was known to occasionally get out his accordion at the Sigma Chi house and play "Lady of Spain"to get everyone laughing with him. He is certainly a colleague, a father, grandfather, husband, son and brother to be proud of.. Bob Pace,...
