My deepest sympathies are with you during your time of loss. I worked with Mr. Smith at RCAP and he taught me how to become an Outreach Worker in the 80's. He loved his family and the City of Richmond.

Carl and I had a special relationship. Out of his own mouth, I was his SISTER, not an in-law. Lovingly. Pam

To the family of Carl Smith, I wish to express to you my deepest sympathy..he was a great person with a heart of gold. I thought of him a few weeks ago because I hadn't seen him around the city in quite a while and was wondering how he was. He will be greatly missed by many.
