Mr. Smith was THE best.  He was my favorite basketball coach, hands down.  He had a gentleness about him that was disarming. You couldn't help but smile anytime you were around him. I loved riding in his green jeep with Liz.  He introduced me to The Steve Miller Band, Jimmy Buffet, The Eagles and Tom Petty. Attending concerts at Shoreline with he and Liz are some of my favorite memories!

Roger was a friend and business partner for more than 30 years. He was a key builder of Crescent Project Management and FieldDay Solutions. Far more important, Roger was an imaginative and innovative engineer and marketer. He was trustworthy and kind and is missed by all of his associates.

Dear Roger, we started this friendship with a ‘hello’ and never thought it will be ending so soon with a ‘goodbye’.  I will never forget the good memories we shared together. I am so glad that you were part of my life, even though I am so sad that you’re no more. Farwell Roger, R.I.P.
