John Winfield Smythe Jr.

John was a wonderful and gited professor for many years at Youngstown State University and my favorite instructor nback in the late 1970's. I still recall many livly classroom debates and even more fun in the hours of war gaming with classmates/freinds at his home as we play "Dungeons and Dragons". God Speed Dr. John and thanks so much for the education, the friendship and the fun!!

You lived a good life, and now it is time to rest in peace. May God bless the family who was left behind, here on earth... but realize you will once again meet in heaven.

Just looking at Uncle Johns picture makes me smile and brings back so many good memories of our childhood! You will be missed by all that knew you-especially your family. John, Michelle and Georgina, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. We love you all and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Kathy and Brad
