Donald Robert Huard

Donald R. (Doc) Huard, 78, of Billings/Polson, passed away Thursday, October 2nd, at home in Polson, of natural causes. He was born New Year's Eve, 1935, in Detroit, MI.
In 1965, he graduated from the University of Michigan medical school and married Arlene Huard. They celebrated their 56th anniversary in August. They moved to Billings in 1970, where he was one of the founding partners of Orthopedic Associates, and practiced until his retirement in 1996. His daring but clumsy children and grandchildren kept him working part-time afterwards.
Don enjoyed spending time at the family ranch near Billings, working in the cherry orchard in Polson, or any other place that afforded him the opportunity to drive a tractor.
Survivors include his wife Arly, younger brother Mike of Brighton, MI, and three children and their families: Doug & Colleen Huard of Portland, OR, Dave Huard of Oklahoma City, OK, and Kari and Bret Chapman of Bozeman, along with five grandchildren.
While we will not honor his last request of "opening the passenger door and dumping him out," we will honor his request for no public services.
