RIP Matthew "Smithers" Smith

[bazzalisk]

This morning I received the news that my good friend Matthew Smith, known to us in London as "Smithers" has died in a road accident. I have tried to inform everyone who knew him by phone where possible, but if you were a friend of his and myself and Peter haven't been able to get through to you then maybe you'll see it here

R.I.P Smithers

I work at Areva and have been one of the fortunate ones to have been in Mathew aka Smither's company for almost a year having joined the graduate scheme the same day as him.

He was a brilliantly high callibred man and as many have mentioned had a library of knowledge on various topics that he was really passionate about. He often spoke about his role playing games and nuclear power when I accompanied him on train journeys to London and was a pleasure being around him. As my colleague has said, we shall miss him a lot at lunch and the spare seat shall always remind us of him.

It is a very sad and upsetting moment that such a person has been lost at such a young age when he had the potential to make a change in the world we live in.

Rest In Peace Matthew and you shall be forever remembered!

Absolutely wonderful guy - only met him a few times but am truly gutted to hear this.

In an often dark and cynical world, Smithers' enthusiasm and zest for the things he loved was a tremendous asset. He will be sorely missed.
