Mrs Smid and family Your husband/father has been an important factor in my life and someone whose memory will be treasured. At various times and first as Dr. Smid but later as a friend he has been my mentor, examiner, colleague, and friend. He excelled in each of those roles. Challenging professor and examiner, warm and insightful colleague, and always a good friend. He will be sorely missed by all of us who were privileged to know him and bask in his friendship, we will join you in missing him.

Jackie and I offer our most sincere condolences to Mrs. Smid, the Smid children, and to their extended family members. Prof. Smid was one of the earth's finest gentlemen and his kind soul touched everyone he encountered. Words can not describe the sadness of his death nor can these describe the impact he had on my life. Rest in immortal peace fine sir and my pal. Roger

Dear Mrs. Smid and all other members of the Smid family, Firstly, I wish I could come and personally convey my condolences. Dr. Smid was not only my mentor for my Ph.D. degree, but also my friend, philosopher and guide, from whom I learnt, apart from high science, so much about everything in life, things and lessons that have helped me immensely in my life.... l shall always hold him in the highest reverence. He always followed the highest of ethical practices, always emphasized on seeking God's blessings in all actions.....he was indeed a saintly man. His letters to me exuded love and kindness and goodness of the highest level. I shall miss him greatly. The world has lost one of the finest human beings. May God bestow peace to the departed soul, and strength to his family. My love and regards and good wishes to you all. God bless! .... Dr. Anjani J. Varma

I am so sorry to hear this and extend my condolences to Han’s family and friends. What an amazing man, always giving of himself to show the love of Christ everywhere he went. He and Elly faithfully supported and prayed for me for over three decades of ministry in Austria. He was such an example of love, faith, joy, and hope. “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord.”

I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have known Prof. Smid. He was an outstanding scientist, gifted teacher and above all a genuine and compassionate human being. It will be impossible to document the kindness and generosity he showered on me during my years as a graduate student at the State University of New York. His passing away marks the end of an era.....
