The Dalles Weekly Reminder, August 28, 1987
Patrick J. Smith, 64, who owned, managed and supervised grocery stores when he 
lived in The Dalles, died Sunday at his home at Northwestern Lake near White 
Salmon in Klickitat County, Washington.

He was born January 17, 1923 in North Powder, and graduated from high school 
in Rockaway.

After serving in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1945, he came to The Dalles in 
1948 and managed the Safeway store until 1953 when he moved to Portland.  He 
came back to The Dalles in 1957 and supervised Hilltop Market and Easthill 
Market in The Dalles and what is now Holcomb Sentry in Goldendale.

He bought Easthill Market in 1969 and it became Sentry Market shortly 
thereafter.  He continued run that store until 1982 when his son, Lynn, and 
his wife, Cheryl, bought the store.

Mr. Smith was a veteran of World War II with the U.S. Army and landed in 
Normandy on D-Day.  He was a member of the Elks and was on the board of 
directors for United Grocers from 1978 to 1981.
