The Smiths had no children but travelled often to Oregon to visit sister Leonie, Husband Walt, and their two boys, with whom they were very close. Both Doris and Hubert enjoyed the mountains, lakes and streams of the west and made several trips to Oregon including an excursion to Crater Lake National Park with their nephews and family.
The Smiths lived in Florida 1/2 of the year for many years after retirement but later, after the trips became too much, settled back in West Lafayette where they spent the rest of their lives close to their community of friends associated with Purdue University.

Notes:

Walter was born in a mill town in Central California where his dad worked for Hudspeth Pine. Soon after the family was transferred to Prineville, Oregon where his dad ran the Hudspeth mill there until retirement. The family then moved to Bend.

At OSU he was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, majored in Chemistry, and was part of the award winning OSU marching band, playing Sousaphone.
Walter always had a passion to see the country up close and took a job as a long haul truck driver based in Idaho, where he delivered refrigerated goods all over the United States. Walter missed being away from family and returned to Oregon and drove tanker truck for Lee and Eastes and then Arrow Transportation in Eugene, Oregon. He worked his way up at Arrow Transportation from tanker driver to dispatcher to eventually Terminal Manager and stayed with the company through many buy-outs and name changes. He was still working in bulk commodities as Dispatch Manager for Gresham Transfer at the time of his death.
Walter enjoyed hiking, hunting, fishing and being outdoors in Oregon and explored many areas of Oregon during regular outings. He was an expert marksman and ethical sportsman, who would only take a game animal if it could be done with one shot. He also worked on conservation projects in Central Oregon during his time in Scouting, being invited to attend leadership camp for young men at Crescent Lake, OR.
Walter always put family first and will be remembered for his gentle demeanor, generosity and quick wit. He was very proud to be an Uncle to his brother's step son and always enjoyed his sister-in-law's gourmet cooking - especially her Thanksgiving turkey with Pine Nut/Leek under-the-skin stuffing.
