It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our former Chief Inspector David L. Smith. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his long time fiancé Shirley Hunter and his family.

As Chief Inspector from 1996 – 2009, Dave was an integral member of our close knit NYSDOT and NYS Thruway Inspection team. He loved his family, travel, restorative engineering projects, and the New York Yankees.

He will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
