you don't know me but I had the privilege of working for your father at Barber Colman. I respected and admired him very much and am saddened to hear of his passing. I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to all of you in your loss.

Seems like yesterday that we kids were running all over Edgebrook while our parents had their parties, cocktails, church events,nightime walks and so much more. Frank Smith looms larger than life in my memories of all that. He was a cool guy.

My heart goes out to all of you on this loss. He will be missed by us all.

We are very sorry to hear that your Father has passed away. You must be very proud to have been raised by such an accomplished man. To have lived such a full life after serving our Country in World War II is more than most can ever dream of, much less attain. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Frank and Family, I so wish I could be with you to honor your Dad. We will think of you and light a candle for him. David and Daphne.

As a self-appointed representative of all the nephews whose heads hurt from the "nooggies" or "knuckle rubs" as John Wehrheim called them, I promise to keep up the Uncle Frank tradition of "knuckle love" with all relatives whenever possible.

Sorry not to be able to be there to celebrate Uncle Frank's wonderful life.

i had the privilege of working with your dad. my wife Anita and i enjoyed your mom and dad's company, he was especially fond of Anita's hand stuffed anchovy olives.He was a man of great wit, honesty and integrity and certainly enjoyed life. We will miss him.
Our prayers are with your families.
Anita and Chuck Valentine

As one of The Gay 19, my condolences to you celebrate Frank and Jeanne as The Best of The Best. May he rest in peace and may you all come closer together in the great love they had for each other and for all of you. Peace

Papa,

We all love you so much and miss you terribly already. Now, please do what you can about that darn billy goat up there. I'll be thinking about you every time I am watching our beloved Cubbies. Say hi to Gaga for us!

With deepest sympathies.

Nancy, Joe and the entire Smith family,
We're so sorry we can't be there to celebrate the wonderful life of your father Frank, but know we're there in spirit. Our sincere condolences,
