C. Wayne Smith Obituary
Wayne was a Euclid High School social studies teacher from 1962-1997 and particularly enjoyed taking students to DC on the Close Up program. Next to being with his children and grandchildren, Wayne loved watching classic movies, a habit started with watching westerns with his dad in the early days of TV. An avid Browns fan, Wayne enjoyed season tickets in the past and yelling at them on TV in recent years. Many of Wayne's closest friends will remember him for being a great friend to sit and have a "Manhattan" with.
Private family interment after which family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate Wayne's life at MURPHY FUNERAL HOME, 95 S. FRANKLIN ST., CHAGRIN FALLS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 3:00-5:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to The Greater Cleveland Food Bank, 15500 S. Waterloo Rd., Cleveland, OH 44110.

I had the pleasure of working with Wayne early in my career as a high school teacher at EHS. Wayne was always friendly and kind. He had a smile that would light up the room and a great laugh. He was a great reminder to not take yourself too seriously and he showed me the value of having colleagues that support you no matter what. Wayne, along with some other great teachers in the Social Studies Department, made my early years at EHS special and truly memorable.
