Gregory Allan Smith ’68

The class lost a loyal member and dear friend when Greg Smith succumbed to lung cancer Sept. 24, 1995, at his home in Berkeley, Calif., lovingly attended by his wife of 28 years, Barbara Mathews (Bobbye) Smith, their daughter Pamela, and many other family and friends.

Greg was born Dec. 9, 1945, in Washington, D.C., and was raised in Ann Arbor, Mich., where he attended Pioneer H.S. At Princeton he majored in politics and was a member of Charter Club and the Glee Club. However, Greg's most memorable extracurricular activity was his participation in the folk singing group, The Wanderers, which also included roommates Tom Hardy, Murray Leety, and Houghtie Hutcheson. They lived together in Little Hall until Greg married Bobbye and moved off campus midway through junior year.

Following graduation from Wisconsin Law School, Greg joined the San Francisco firm of Pillsbury Madison & Sutro, where he specialized for 19 years in corporate taxation, executive compensation, and pension and profit-sharing plans.

In 1990 he was recruited by the firm of Heller, Ehrman, White & MacAuliffe, where he was a partner until his death. Only two weeks before Greg left us, The Wanderers reassembled at his home for one last concert.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to Bobbye; their daughters, Pamela and Michelle; grandson, Cory Risch-Smith; son-in-law Michael Risch; his sister, Stephanie; and mother, Alene Smith.
