What a great teacher! Had him for 9th grade Social Studies at the first year of Unami. I also officiated high school football for 40 years with the Florida High School Athletic Association. CB '69.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Smerconish was my guidance counselor from 1983-85. I remember him as a kind man who challenged us to do our best and be our best. His passing is great loss to our community.

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your father. From a loyal viewer who respects and relishes the unbiased news you offer each week. Carolyn Klock

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your father

Michael, My sincere sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your father. I am thinking of you at this sad time. I greatly appreciate your weekly show on CNN. Your unbiased, fair, and sensitive presentation and your conversations with such a wide variety of guests has been highly educational to me. Your father must have been so proud. —Cheryl Crist

Condolences Mike, i was a regular listener when you were on philly radio and i remember your references to your dads football referreing. One of the tougher things to deal with in life.

Michael,
You don't know me, but I wanted to offer you my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I lost my father this June 1st and your tweet had a profound effect on me. I can say with certainty the pain will lessen. I can also say with just as much certainty that even after awhile a comment, a sight or even a smell will trigger a strong reaction as it relates to memories of your Dad. Although these reactions are tinged with sadness, I relish them as they remind me of my father. I'm sure you will experience the same.

Regards,

Dan

my sympathy to you and your family;
1979 when i lost my daddy seems like just last week somehow so be kind and patient with yourselves
and know so many of us are lifting all of you up now and forever/\prs

I’m so sorry for your loss. It will take time, the pain doesn’t lessen, we learn to live with it. Being a faithful viewer of your program often made me think of your parents, how they were able to raise such an objective son.

May your Dad’s memory be a blessing.

So sorry to hear of your loss ... my mother passed last month at 99 ... my heart hurts, but I feel that my mom, and your dad, had great runs ... they lived large and saw so much ... thinking of you from ??

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Having just lost my 100 year old mother in July, I know how powerful and devastating the loss of someone who is your biggest fan is. No matter the length of time a parent has lived the loss is searing, and the moments to come - you will find yourself imagining your parent (dad for you, for me my mom) ready to let you know how to do it better but still proud of the choices you have made. And always letting you know how well loved you are. TO you Michael Smerconish, to the world, or rather your media fan base - we your listeners owe your dad (ie parent) a debt of gratitude for making you the person who are today. Again I know I speak for many - we are deeply and sorry for your loss.

Michael, Our sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.
Regards from all your friends at Beth Israel Congregation of Chester County/.

My deepest condolences to the Smirconish family at this time of loss to a patriarch. Mr. Smirconish, your son Michael is one of the most prolific lawyers and journalists of his generation and as a fan of his, I wanted to offer my sympathies and to say to family and friends, he must have had a phenomenal father to be the man he is today.
My thoughts and prayers to the Smirconish family.

From my family to yours know that you are in our prayers. Let his memory and lessons taught be used as an example of how to experience a well lived life rooted in love and family values. The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree. God Bless.

My condolences come from my friends who knew him well. Dave & Diane Brinker would have been there, but they are now all together in heaven.
Very sorry for your loss,
Betsy Gensamer

Your dad was loved by many and a good teacher. He taught Mike how to talk and now he is the best talker around. He taught me to fly fish and now I am the best fly fisherman around. He taught Wally to succeed and succeed he did. His legacy lives on. I am so sorry.

Dear Michael, Walter and family,
I just recently learned that Walt was at Pine Run. I taught at Unami many years ago with Walt. Matter of fact, Walt got me to move to Unami from Council Rock...I worked with Walt at NADC back in the summers of the late 60's and 70's. Also at the Bucks Co prison.
Your Dad and I shared many a good laugh together. The stories we shared...
Walt was truly one of a kind.
My wife Pat and I set out yesterday to visit Walt at Pine Run. We were shocked to find out he passed away two weeks ago.
We moved away from Bucks Co and our lives went very different ways but Walt will always be a big part of my life. I will remember him as he is pictured on this page.
You have our sincere sympathies.
