I too was lucky enough to work with Smut at VF-101 as an F-14 Instructor. Bill was awesome! He had the ability to perform as an amazing professional doing noble work producing our nations best Naval fighter pilots and RIOs, while bringing enthusiasm and an incredible sense of humor to a very challenging profession. Bill made all of us better instructors and friends. I am very thankful for the time we all had together. I am sorry for your loss and my prayers are with the family. Please take some comfort in knowing that Bill made our world a better place. May God Bless and keep him.

It was my privilege to serve with Bill flying F-14's with VF-101. He was a tremendous officer, and a patriot. When I think of Bill I can her his voice and see his wry smile, and I remember how he laughed. He was taken too soon. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
