Smith pledged Beta Gamma in 1988 and has been a member of Zeta Lambda (AND A LIFE MEMBER) since graduation. He also was a member of Scottish Rite Masonry in Virginia. He served as Assistant Principal at Warwick High School in Newport News, VA. He is survived by his wife and two children. Arrangements are incomplete at this time. I will attempt to keep you informed of funeral arrangements and where condolences can be sent.

My condolences to the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and his friends and family.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Frat. :( Please call me if you need anything.

Condolences to Bro. Smith's family, and to my brothers in Zeta Lambda. May they all find God's peace in this time as our brother makes his transition.

I trust that the brothers' Omega service ritual will offer a measure of comfort to all.
