Harold Leroy Smith, age 83, passed away on Saturday, October3, 2020 at Fair View Nursing Home in Mauston, WI. Harold was born in Mauston on November 13, 1936 to Edwin and Alice (Manthey) Smith.
Harold worked for many years in the Mauston area on family farms, most notably the B.C. Johnson and Buchmeier Family Farms. He worked as a grounds keeper for many years at the Dairymen’s Country Club in Boulder Junction, WI.

Harold is survived by brother Kenneth Smith, sister-in-law Evelyn Smith, in addition to many nieces and nephews. Harold also leaves behind the Steve and Lisa Buchmeier Family who were close friends and always welcomed him into their home as one of their own family. Harold was preceded in death by his parents, sister Shirley Mills and brother Donald Smith.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00p.m. on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 401 Mansion St., Mauston, WI with Rev. Fr. John Potaczek presiding.
