Obituary for Richard L. Smith

Condolence From: Thomas Caltrider, Aurora, CO
Condolence: Dick was a great guy, a class act and a true professional. I didn't fully appreciate how special he was as a senior finance executive until we joined GE.

Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Condolence: Diana and Kent,

My sincerest sympathies for the passing of your father.

His work colleagues will always remember Dick an inspirational and dedicated leader who set high standards because he always led by example. He challenged his subordinates to work together for the good of the business and the accounting professional. Many of us owe our successful careers to Dick because, most importantly, he cared about all of us and gave us the leadership foundation that he practiced.

Jerry

Condolence: Diane, I am so sorry to read of your father's passing. Both your mother and father were dear, sweet people - and talented. I was able to visit them once before they relocated. I just showed up at their doorstep and they were so surprised. Unfortunately, the had doctor appointments so I did not get to visit long. Your dad was a wonderful man to work for. I always loved that he was the head drum major for Michigan Wolverines - that was very special. Please know that I am thinking of you and all your family. My husband, Rod, just passed away on September 26. I miss him so much. My sister, Marilyn, who I think you knew passed away on September 22, 2015. I miss her dearly also. I send my love to you.
