“Brother Cal Smith was a great friend and a grand soul! We spent many hours together during our stay in Charleston many years ago. We ran together, prayed together, served together. We once made a special effort to take the name of a dear friend to the Chicago Temple to perform the sacred temple ordinances in his behalf. I have a personal and deep love for this good man. May his family follow in the same wonderful footsteps as this dear brother and friend. Isaac C. "Ike" Ferguson”
