Jerry Smith wrote a sympathy message

“To Nancy, Tracy and Pat: your father was one of the most dedicated educators we've had the pleasure to know. Having spoken with him at your mother's funeral, we told him we'd be getting together to attend a Chicago Symphony concert soon. The shock of his passing has left his many friends and colleagues stunned. We send you our deepest sympathy for the loss of your vivacious mother and devoted father. Dottie Fugiel and Jerry Smith”
