WINCHENDON/WEST BOYLSTON – Stephen R. Messier, 66, passed away on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at Lahey Medical Center in Burlington, MA from complications with Covid-19. Born in Worcester, Steve was the son of Richard and Pauline J. (Turcotte) Messier, was raised in West Boylston and was a graduate of West Boylston High School.
