Activities
Besides being known for his love of the outdoors, hunting trophy bull elk and fishing for giant trout on Henry’s Lake, his greatest joy in life was spending time doing these things with his “babies.” Ren enjoyed many things, but nothing was more important to him than serving as the patriarch of the Smith family and ensuring that all the Smith children and grandchildren were taken care of to his expectations. Ren had a great sense of humor and a laugh that was priceless. Ren taught his children the true meaning of family and demonstrated that family always comes first. He enjoyed spending time at his cabin in Island Park. Second only to the love of his family and friends was his love for his pets, and he was rarely seen without his chocolate lab “Chip”.
