It was there he was Selectman of Wardsboro, Chairman of the July 4th Parade and street fair for many years (he was a tough act to follow so no one else would step up)!!  He was also president of the oldest camera club in the US, in Brattleboro ,VT.

He was predeceased by his parents and wife Susan Potter Smith. He is survived by his sister Suzanne Yeaw, sister Joan Haskell (Preston), brother J. P. Smith (Kaki) and brother Herbert Bronson Smith (Dean) and his children, Mark Smith, Lisa Ruoff, Paige Beard (Jeff), Wendy Sutton (Jon), Curtis Smith (Suzy), his 5 Grand children, Tyler(Katie), Evan, Danielle, Alexander, Andrei and his great Grandson Braxton.
