I am sad to hear of Mike’s death. Always in a good mood and pleasant and entertaining to speak with. He will be missed. Definitely.
One of the finest persons I ever met. Mike and I joined the Variety Guild at Queen of All Saints at the same time. Incredible talent and performer. If I ever had a question about New York, Mike was my go to guy. He will be sorely missed. Bob Bullman
My condolences to Nancy, Matt and Maria.
Incredible guy and a great friend. Anyone who knew him loved him dearly.
My prayers are with the Smith family. I grew up with Mike (Moose) Smith attending the same grammar school and high school in NYC. I am deeply saddened to hear the news and will keep all in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. He was such a kind and gentle man. The heavens will be enjoying his beautiful voice. Cherish you memories. Prayers.
So very sorry for your loss dear cousin.
Your family is in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss Nancy.
My wife and I were saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was such a fine singer and leader of songs at Queen of All Saints. He was always so pleasant and had such a positive outlook.
I had the privilege of coaching Matt on the tennis team at St. Mary’s High school and my daughter, Anna Hutchinson, taught Maria at Notre Dame High school.
When informed of Mike’s passing- my daughter summed it up well-“sweet, sweet man. “
Our prayers are with the entire Smith family. May he Rest In Peace.
Sincerely
Francis and Benita Sohm
So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing many prayers

Nancy, Matt, and Maria . . . My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your father and husband. ❤️
Hearts and thoughts are with Nancy, Matt and Maria. Know that you are not alone in remembering a kind, wonderful person who meant so much to many.
You were an excellent leader at Xavier HS when we attended. Seems you excelled greatly with your career, family and support of the Church. Rest well my friend…lost another Son of Xavier…Condolences and prayers to his family.
Nancy, Matt and Maria…so sorry for your loss and our deepest sympathy to you all. Mike was such a terrific guy and loved by so many. Imagine he is singing with the angel choir now. You remain in our hearts and prayers, wishing you comfort and peace.
Mike (yes Moose – I think he liked that nickname) was an inspiration and gift to all of us. His intellectual abilities in grammar school and high school were established. So were his basketball and ROTC credentials (Colonel of the Regiment!). Regardless, he was a compassionate person in the Xavier tradition.
Please accept my sympathies for your loss.

Nancy, Matt, and Maria,
I am so sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. You are all in our thoughts—-sending much love your way.
From another Xavier High School classmate, RIP to a great leader, classmate and friend.
Nancy and family. Our deepest condolences to you and your family . Our prayers are with you all.
My dearest cousin and lifelong friend–we share in your sorrow and continue to pray for you, Matt and Maria. This song-How Can I Keep From Singing– makes me think of Mike and his musical talent especially in this verse
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it,
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his—
How can I keep from singing?
My prayers and condolences are with you all as we mourn the loss of Uncle Michael. He will be missed by everyone who’s life he touched.
We are saddened to hear of Smitty’s passing. You are in our prayers and thoughts. We will miss him but we’ll always have fond memories of 5G, working in Clayton, and many conversations and texts about the Yankees.
