Dear Mrs. Smith and Family,
On behalf of the Newport Beach City Council and our community, I wish to extend
our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved husband, father, and
grandfather, Ted Smith. At our recent Council meeting, we adjourned in his memory,
in recognition of the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind.
Ted's life was one of remarkable vision, leadership, and generosity. From his
distinguished service in the U.S. Air Force, to his groundbreaking achievements in
the business and technology world, to his tireless devotion to education and
philanthropy, he touched countless lives in Orange County and beyond. His
leadership throughout his career stands as a lasting testament to his commitment to
innovation and to helping future generations succeed.
We are also deeply grateful for the generosity that Ted shared with so many of our
cultural and educational institutions. His impact will be felt for decades to come, not
only through the organizations he strengthened, but also through the students,
families, and community members who benefited from his vision and kindness.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We honor Ted's
extraordinary life, and we give thanks for the indelible mark he left on our
community.
With deepest sympathy,
g I k
Joe Stapleton
Mayor
