"Dad was tough but not tyrannical," Smith reportedly once told Essence magazine. "He kept me in line. He'd get this look that said, 'One more step, Will, and it'll get ugly.' He was an independent businessman -- he set up refrigeration in supermarkets -- and he always provided for us. He's a steady and positive figure in my life."

Our condolences go out to the Smith family.
