Vance Howard Smith

Debbie, As Valentines Day approaches without Vance, please know that we are thinking of you and doing well. Go out and get flowers and eat chocolate candy in his reverberance.

I will forever remember Vance, from childhood days jumping on the trampoline to our days at NMMI to his years in Roswell practicing medicine and dove hunting with me. I miss him!

Debbie, my full message didn't make it for some reason. Let me say again how much I valued Vance's friendship from childhood, at NMMI, and later in Roswell where he was practicing. The photo of him is wonderful, and I can hear his wonderful laugh as I look at it. I loved that guy! I am sorry i will never get to see him again, but he lives in my memory. I have a photo on my desk of Vance and a few others at an NMMI reunion many years ago. I hope you are well, Debbie. mike carrigan

Hi Debbie and Smith family. This is Mike Carrigan, one of Vance's long-time Bless all of you. mike

May his soul rest in peace. We worked together at the hospital in Muskegon for a few years before his retirement. It was a great experience working with him

We were so sorry to hear of Dr. Smith's passing. A mutual friend, Mike Carrigan called tonight and told us. Debbie, I would personally like to thank you for the training you gave me under you tutelage. Dr. Smith was always kind to me as well. Mary and Barney Mays - from Roswell, NM, now living in Kerrville, TX.

My condolences to Debbie and family. My mother & I were patients at his office for a long time. Rest in peace Dr. Smith. Nancy M. Gray

Met Vance and Deborah through mutual friends. They were always an interesting couple to interact with socially. So sorry to hear of Vance's passing.
