Stephen Smith Obituary

     Stephen Roger Smith, age 78, of Sheridan, passed away on Saturday afternoon, February 19, 2022, at Maple Park Village in Westfield, Indiana.  Born January 9, 1944, in Vandalia, Illinois, he was the son of the late Ralph and Viola Smith.

     After completing his years of service in the United States Air Force, Stephen went to work in the environmental sector.  He spent the majority of his working years as a fuel tank inspector, most recently working for Environmental Petroleum Services.
