With sincere sympathy in the loss of beloved Mr. Smestad. He will be greatly missed by all his students at Calhoun High School. My daughter was in his Psychology class last year and was fond of him. Rest in Peace Mr Smestad.

Doug inspired me over the years. He had a heart of a giant. Made me laugh when I was exhausted. Pushed us "younger" guys, when we were complaining of being "too old". RIP Doug. You're going to be soooo missed.

We would not be a family without the love, guidance and support of Jani and Doug. We will always be grateful for our time with you. I will always remember a snowball fight in your backyard with family and friends as the warmest of times together.
We love you.

Mr. Smestad was the greatest teacher I ever had and was one of the greatest human beings I have ever personally known. Not everyone followed his hilarious and informative lectures, his humor, or his class procedures; I like to think I did and it was my most rewarding experience at Calhoun. But even if a student detested history and couldn't appreciate his brilliance, that student knew he or she would not be judged by test scores and that they walked into a class that had the warmest, most genuine teacher at Calhoun at the helm. As a father, I have no doubts he was amazing, and it is certain that he was like a father to hundreds of students over the years and I cannot thank him enough for furthering my knowledge and desire to learn and inquire. My dearest condolences to you, and while it may not assuage your suffering now, I know you know that your father affected innumerable lives and selflessly lived a life for others, something few in history can claim.

Mr. Smestad was truly one of the best educators I have had the pleasure of being taught by. Everyday he inspired me to learn, to absorb every bit of information he provided and then some. It was because of his teaching, I majored in History while earning my BA at Hofstra University. Today, I'm completing my PhD and I would like to thank Smes for his wise teachings. He will truly be missed. I'll always remember his parting line at the end of class- Remember, you are the future! We are indeed, Smes.
