To the fabulous five-I wanted to share this caricature your dad did for me as a surprise for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. My mom has this hanging on her bedroom wall and anytime I see it it makes me smile. I remember your dad was always so soft spoken, peaceful and gave me a big “Tracie!” When I came by to see him when Angela was in town. You are all in my thoughts with the loss of your dad.
Much love-Tracie.
Thank you Chris Murphy for taking the time to share this photo and memory of our dad. We have heard a similar story many times from others who have a Dan Smith original hanging on their wall. Your kindness is so heartwarming.
Dan Smith drew a delightful caricature of our son ( Keith) in 1994 while we were on vacation at Clearwater Beach. I remember his kind wit. My husband framed it and it has been a family treasure hanging in the hallway of our home for nearly 31 years. We lift up prayers for strength, comfort and peace to Mr. Smith’s family and friends as I know he will be truly missed.
With kind regards,
