SMITH, ROBERT L.: It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Robert L. Smith, often referred to as "Kokanee Bob" or "Ranger Smith", on Thursday, November 4, 2010, at Vancouver General Hospital. Thanks go to the staff at Vancouver General Hospital for their compassionate care and excellent service. Bob was well known throughout British Columbia particularly the Okanagan Valley and Alberta. Bob was an extremely avid motorcycling and camping enthusiast, as well as a volunteer for the Ironman Canada Penticton Motorcycle team, for many years. Bob also assisted in coaching the Penticton Ladies Softball Team to championship back in the 1980’s. Bob was greatly respected for his unique talent as an excellent automotive painter, including custom cars and motorcycles. Bob’s sense of humour and general kindness was always at the forefront of any gathering. He is predeceased by his father, Ralph of Millet, Alberta, and is survived by his mother, Adena, brothers Philip and wife Hilda and children, Jim and wife Heather and children, and the extended Smith Family in Alberta, and former wife June of Penticton, and many friends Bob made over the years. A celebration of his life will take place sometime in the Spring of 2011, at a date to be announced later. In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations to the BC Lung Association would be appreciated. Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.
