Brunswick - Robert (Bob) Smith was born on March 24, 1933 in Buxton, Maine to parents Ellsworth and Maude Smith.  He passed away at the age of 90 peacefully at home with his wife and daughters by his side.

He graduated from Thornton Academy at the top of his class, and attended the University of Maine with a B.S. in Sanitation Engineering.

Bob served in the Army Core of Engineer, stationed in Korea for 2 years.

He began his engineering career working for the State of Maine, followed by 15 years at Wright Pierce achieving the level of Vice President, and retired from ABB Environmental Engineering at the age of 62.
