If I recall correctly, Mr. Smyth had been dealing with an illness.
D.G. (Greg) Smyth 1937-2016
TSPS Affiliation: Life Member, Chapter 22
Registrations: Registered Professional Land Surveyor #2046 & Licensed State Land Surveyor
Mr. Smyth owned and operated D.G. Smyth & Co., Inc. in Uvalde, Texas. He served as a witness on boundary dispute cases and completed thousands of survey projects including large ranches, lake boundaries, river boundaries, excess acreage surveys for Deeds of Acquittance, vacancy surveys, cellular tower sites, subdivisions, well locations, pipelines, circular irrigation systems, road, bridges, lakes, topographic surveys, and control surveys.
I believe he was also a descendant of George Washington Smyth http://www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?pers_id=70 , a former Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office.

Yes, Greg had beaten the odds against surving pancreatic cancer for more than a few months, but that is almost certainly what got him. He was a tough old bird. I never asked about his ancestors, but assumed that he was related to the Smyths who ranched in Uvalde County in the late 19th century. I didn't know him particularly well.
That's sad to hear. I always enjoyed his presence and course instruction.

I heard this morning that a Final Point ceremony is being planned. More details will be released on the TSPS website when available
