Read More	Bob Smith passed from this world to the next on the afternoon of June 6, 2021, at his home in Montana, surrounded by his loving wife and daughters. Bob was born on a farm near Anita, in 1939, son of Roscoe and Marie Smith. The span of his 81 years started with a childhood of chores before and after school, plowing fields, and making hay. The work ethic and discipline of farm life carried through to his successful 40-year career in business management, corporate leadership, and adventures around the globe. For retirement he returned to his small-town roots and the serene quiet of a home tucked in the woods outside Whitefish, Mont. Bob was a pillar of strength and support for his family, including Glenda, his wife and partner in love and life for 61 of his 81 years, and his three daughters and their families: Ellen Rude, her husband Patrick and two step-children Geoffrey Rude and Kelsey Fisher, Kelsey's husband Kevin, and their daughter Riley; Carol Westerdale, her husband Jim and two children, Rob and Roxanne; and Ingrid Ulrey, her wife Page and two sons, Roscoe and Skye McDonald. Memories of Bob will also be cherished by his sister, Karen Berger, and brother, Guy Smith, and a large extended family in and around Anita. In 1960, Bob met Glenda Townsend at Northwest Missouri College. Later that year, the two married in Valisca, and then moved to Omaha where Bob launched his career and where his first two daughters were born. After five years, Bob was recruited for a higher-level position based in Hackensack, New Jersey, where his third daughter was born. Over the years, Bob's promotions and expanded responsibilities moved the family 14 times to seven different states, and from 1978-1981 to London, England. In 1997, Bob retired from his role as Corporate Vice-President with Avery Dennison International, a company he'd helped guide and grow for 25 years. For the past 20 plus years, Bob enjoyed a very active life in Montana. He served as a volunteer for the Retired Executives Services Core, founded an angel investing fund and learned to blacksmith. He deeply enjoyed fixing and riding antique motorcycles and cars and frequent trips with Glenda. In 1999, Bob and Glenda adopted a pair of llamas, the first of many who they took on treks in the wilderness and led down Main Street in the annual Whitefish Winter Carnival parade. Bob delighted in sharing the gentle joys of the llamas on visits to local parks and community events. In recent years, Bob taught cribbage to fourth graders, using one of his life-long favorite games to help kids learn how to problem-solve and grow their confidence. Throughout his life, co-workers, friends, and family were drawn to Bob for consult at life's major intersections. He listened, asked questions, and left people with the tools they need to find their own way. He will be greatly missed. A celebration of Bob's life will be held at the Woodland Park, 705 2nd St East, Kalispell, Mont, on July 8 at 4 p,m. Bob's ashes will be interred at Evergreen Cemetery, in Anita.
