LEWISTON – Steven Harold Smith, 60, a resident of Church Street in Jay, died Tuesday, July 8, at Central Maine Medical Center surrounded by his family.

He was born on Jan. 7, 1948, in Pottawattamie, Iowa, the son of Harold Max and Faye L. (Chase) Smith and attended local schools. Steve served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era as a specialist E-4 from 1966 to 1970.
