Kenneth does not remember a lot about recent events, 
but he talks about his 1st Cousin "Guy Spencer Smith" with great 💙admiration to this day.

Kenneth & Guy Spencer were stationed at Bunker Hill Airforce Base @the same time in the late 1960s.

Kenneth was very proud of his cousin who was a USAF pilot & "knew his stuff!"💙

We really enjoy hearing Kenneth's USAF stories about Guy Spencer & himself almost daily!💙

Guy Spencer was a true American HERO, and we are sad to hear of his passing.

Wish he had lived closer so Kenneth could have visited with him.

Kenneth really enjoys telling us about the old days of all the Smith/Childers family & we enjoy hearing about them.

Sadly, not many of this great generation are still around for us to learn from anymore.

-Sincere condolences to Guy Spencer's family, 
from Kenneth Edward Smith & Family:  
son Ben, daughter-in-law Melonie, & granddaughter Brette Smith.

-Kenneth is the oldest son of Burley Smith who was one of Guy Henry Smith's brothers.

I believe this was during his "Officer Training School ". 

Mom would say, "I love a man in uniform"!

Dad, his daughter Cynthia and his grandkids

What great memories!

Chief pilot of the new Lear 24!  Dad enjoyed flying this thing!

Deepest sympathy to the family of Guy Smith. Guy was a great man, always had a smile on his face. He loved his family. His wife, Judy, was a best friend of mine for many years. Now they will be together again. RIP Guy.

Cuz we shared many great memories hunting and fishing growing up. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Growing up you were my idol and I couldn't have chosen a better one. RIP

I'm so sorry to hear of Guy's passing.  I haven't seen him in years but still think of him often and the adventures we shared at Kokomo Aviation.  He was the 'Chief Pilot' when Larry Banks ran the business and Guy was the authoritarian who passed me on my SEL PPL checkride back in 1976.  

I remember that he told me, "While we're still climbing full throttle and are all slowed down, pull us back into an accelerated departure stall and don't recover."   "WHAT?!!!"  "Here, I'll show you what I want to see.  MY AIRPLANE!"  

Guy took control and did the maneuver that made it look easy.  But then, I tried it and completely lost control as we went inverted and dived upside-down!  It didn't shake him at all.  I think he ENJOYED it!

"I like that you don't give up.  Take us back up and do it again."  So that day, we did accelerated departure stalls  for more than an hour.  When we returned to the office, I was disheveled, my glasses were still crooked and Guy's necktie was laying back over his shoulder.  Betsy and Andy looked at the two of us with an expression of surprise.  

"Golly!   What happened to you  two up there?  You both look like you've been in a fight."  I went to write out a check at the counter but had to hold my right hand down with my left to fill it out.  There was nothing that you could do with a light, civilian airplane that could get Guy rattled.  I'll never forget the times that we flew together!  I still miss those times and think of Guy often.  

I extend my condolences to his family and friends in this time of loss.  God bless.
