He passed away with dignity and love. Bob was born on November 16, 1934 in Denver, CO. to Theodore Mitchell and Ethel Crawley Mitchell. Bob and his mother moved back to MT. when Bob was just a baby. Ethel then married Lyle Ballard so Bob spent his younger years in and around Vananda, MT with his brothers, Merle and Gary Ballard. He attended school there until the family bought a ranch on Sarpy Creek in 1948. He worked on the ranch with his folks and brothers. He attended Boys State in Dillon in 1952. He graduated from Hysham High School in 1953. He was an Ensign in the Naval Reserves until he enlisted in the USAF in 1954. He took his basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. It was off to Syracuse, NY where he was enrolled in the military language school at Syracuse University. He studied Russian language and history and spent the remainder of his years in service in the European theater. He was honorably discharged late in 1957. Bob returned to Montana, married Arlene Bolton and they went off to Sacramento, CA. With the help of the GI Bill, (paying a lot less than it does now), managing a small apartment complex, and doing janitorial work in a school, Bob graduated from Sacramento State College (now University of CA, Sacramento) with his Bachelor's Degree in Physics in 1963. He worked as an engineer for Aero-Jet General until 1965. While he was with Aero-Jet, he worked on the Polaris missile at Bangor, WA. He went to work for McDonnell in St. Louis, MO in 1966. He was transferred to the McDonnell-Douglas plant in Titusville, FL in 1967. He worked in Research and Development for several years and then went on to many interesting things, including Skylab, Tomahawk and Cruise missiles, and ended up in the Failure Analysis Lab where he thoroughly enjoyed the electron scanning microscope. The plant was closed in 1995 when McDonnell-Douglas failed to win a contract. Bob retired at that time with 29 years with the company. Bob volunteered with the Habitat for Humanity in the Titusville/Cocoa area for several years. He enjoyed playing golf with his friends and families in Florida, Wisconsin, Texas and Montana. He got a couple of 'aces' on a Titusville course. Arlene and Bob traveled the highways in a 5th wheel for quite a number of years along with their 2 wonderful cats. They enjoyed spending their summers in Forsyth, MT. Bob was preceded in death by all parents and his brother, Merle Ballard. He is survived by his wife, Arlene, brother and wife, Gary and Sue Ballard, cousins Floyd and Rose Ballard, Deryl and Cal Crawley, niece Peggy Hillman and her children, Casey and Laci and his Goddaughter, Carol "Munch" (Mann) Muniz and her family. He is also survived by Pauline and Claire Bolton, Bill and Connie Bolton all of Miles City, MT, lots of terrific nieces, nephews, and cousins on the wife's side of the family. Dear people he considered extended family live from the east coast to the west coast of these United States and in England. The patio and barbeque in Florida had lots of workouts while we entertained our friends. When we were discussing what he wanted for his funeral, he said "Tell them to bury me below the frost line because I never liked the cold." He also said he wanted a red casket and by Jove, he got it!! Please, no flowers. You may make a contribution to a charity of your choice or Rosebud Health Care Center, Forsyth, MT.
