Obituary for Robert Harold Galbraith

Robert H. Galbraith, 87, of Ronan, MT, passed peacefully, with his loving wife, Ruth, by his side on Wednesday, June 14, 2016. Bob was born on June 12, 1929 in Carlisle, PA.

After graduating from Boiling Springs High School, he married Mary E. Miller. He spent most of his career as a contractor. He operated a dairy farm, a soft serve ice cream shop, fixed base operations. As a private pilot, he belonged to the Civil Air Patrol, and served with the Pennsylvania National Guard. After retiring from contracting, he pursued other various business ventures including a car dealership, brass bed manufacturing, and antique and retail sales, which gave him more time to spend as an artist and wood sculptor. Bob was united in marriage to Ruth Carlson on May 17, 1997. Bob and Ruth moved to Montana to enjoy the scenic land and wonderful people.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Mary and a brother Ronald.
