Patrick Smith, Beloved Author of “A Land Remembered” Remembered

by Gary – January 27th, 2014

Patrick Smith, Photo courtesy of Pineapple Press, publisher of his novelsIt is with a heavy heart we report that Patrick Smith, beloved by so many as the author of several novels about Florida, has passed.

Like so many others he touched on his life’s journey, I will personally always cherish the memorable moments I spent with Patrick Smith. Years ago, soon after “A Land Remembered” was published, I had the honor of working with him on a few promotional events, and interviewing him for some network radio programs from time to time.
