Memories of Dean Smith linger, even as his memory sadly fails him
Posted Mar 1, 2014
Dean Smith celebrated his 83rd birthday on Friday. In all likelihood, there wasn’t much of a celebration. Smith is suffering from dementia and only occasionally is aware of what is going on around him. Dean Smith can no longer remember all the lives he touched. But he should be remembered every single day — on his birthday, today and forever.
