In memory of Stuart "Stu" Smith, Roger Craik lit a candle

I worked with Stu for close to thirty years. He was always fun to be around. After retirement we kept in touch through texts and an occasional dinner. He will be missed. I'm very sorry for your family's loss.

Deeply saddened by the passing of a wonderful high school friend. Our goofy group spent many hours listening to the latest cool music, playing poker, roaming the beaches, playing backyard hoops and cruising in his car with push button transmission. Road trips to Mentor for McDonald’s grub and wandering the Great Lakes Mall were mixed with Geneva-on-the-Lake for pinball and Madsen Donuts. We had great ping pong tournaments in my garage which were a precursor to Stu’s prowess in tennis and badminton (a distinct memory of him demolishing me in badminton in his side yard!). As a career educator, my hat is off to Stu for all his contributions in teaching. I can only imagine how entertaining as well as informative he was. My life is far richer for having known him.

Stu and I were good friends all thru high school. We spent a lot of time together playing basketball at Jeff Winton's house and just hanging out. He was a great guy and a lot of fun to be around. He was loved and will be greatly missed by everyone.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
