Harry Alexander Smith Jr. ’48

Alex died April 25, 2015, after a lengthy illness. He was 89.

He was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., June 19, 1926, and prepared at Wyoming Seminary. After Navy service, Alex graduated from Princeton in 1949. His medical training was at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, and then in orthopedics at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Lahey Clinic in Boston. He returned to Wilkes-Barre to partner with his father in a medical practice, retiring in 1998. He was an ardent gardener and fisherman — for trout near home and for blues off Nantucket.

Alex is survived by his wife of 54 years, Lillian; his sister, Barbara Bollman; brother Robert; daughters Rebecca Smith, Amy Johnson, and Terrell Juth; and three grandchildren.
