That’s a tribute—Smitty seems like one of those people who makes a big impact without even trying to. Friendships like that which are built around spending time and sharing simple moments really stay with you for a long time. The story about the raccoon is great it really gives you a picture—you can almost imagine it happening. It’s funny how memories, like that can come back clearly even years later. I appreciate you sharing it it’s a reminder of how much those early experiences help shape who we are today and Smitty is definitely someone who has had a lasting influence.
