Bob was a proud Native American.
He was predeceased by his parents, Harold and Lula Smith; and his brother, Harold Smith.
Bob is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Catherine Gresimer Smith.

Bob is survived by his brothers, John (Cathy), Donald (Star) and Thomas Smith; and by his sisters, Dorothy Wyatt and Patricia (Gene) Dise.
