Dan's Memory Wall

Dan and his entire family touched our lives in many good ways. Dan mentored Dodge in banking when it was Inter City Bank. His wife Pat was a beautiful person inside and out. I had the pleasure of coaching the girls in volleyball and my sons, Dan and Dave have fond memories of their classmates. Our sympathies to you all from the Karpinskis.

I am very, very sorry about the death of Dan Smith. When I came to Buchanan with my young family in October 1957 I recall that Dan was the youngest bank employee at the Union State Bank. By the same token I was the youngest lawyer in the Clark Equipment Company Legal Department. I quickly got to know Dan and his father Fred. The latter worked for Equipment Finance Company, later Clark Equipment Credit Corporation, the finance subsidiary of Clark Equipment Company. I had many business and other relationships with Dan over the intervening 64 years. Dan was a very accomplished banker, and a good friend. .I will miss him. Don Ryman
