The man killed Saturday in a shark attack off the coast of Hawaii was a retired optometrist who loved the water. Smiley, who lived in the Granite Bay suburb of Sacramento, California, will be “sorely missed,” lifelong friend Gary Taxera told Sacramento NBC affiliate KCRA-TV. There have been four fatal shark attacks off Maui since 2013. Four people were killed in unprovoked shark attacks in 2018; only one of those deaths occurred in the U.S. Most U.S. shark attacks occur in Florida, followed by Hawaii.
