Leland Stuart Smith ’48

Stu died Nov. 10, 2004, in Louisville, Ky.

Born in Honolulu, he was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D.C. After serving as an infantry rifleman in France, Stu received a medical discharge in 1945 and came to Princeton where he joined Charter Club and graduated with a degree in architecture.

He and Cynthia Cole were married in 1949. They moved to Louisville where he was employed by US Steel Homes, and later by Bechtel until 1984. He was in private architectural practice until retiring in 1992.

Stu had a longtime interest in St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Louisville and served on its vestry. He was a gifted painter and sketcher as well as an avid tennis player.

Stu was preceded in death by his son, Stuart Bruce Smith, in 2001. Our condolences are with Cynthia, his wife of 54 years; his daughter, Leslie; and grandchildren, Chelsea and Sarah. Stu's loyalty to Princeton never flagged.
