Robert Henry Rundle
Our father, Robert Henry Rundle, died April 19 at age 79 of complications from cancer.
When he retired, he chose to settle in Spearfish, a choice he never regretted.
Bob was born in Lead and spent his formative years developing an avid passion for hunting and fishing. He wore three service stars for World War II action at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and the South China Sea. Bob's older brother, Tom, served in Europe but died in the Battle of the Bulge.
After the war, Bob met Jean, his wife of 54 years, in Deadwood and married
in 1950. With the help of the G.I. Bill, Bob chose a profession of accounting which blossomed into a long career with Kennecott. Together with Jean, they made a life for themselves first in Salt Lake, then Silver City, N.M. Soon after, Kennecott sent them to Sewell Chile where his first two sons Bob and Bill were born, and then Salem Missouri where John came into the world.
Always a personable man, Bob rose to the rank of Comptroller of the Ozark Lead Mine where he was roundly praised by his employees, peers, and superiors for his sense of humor and easy going manner, a trait which also made him a great father. This is the place our family thinks of most as home. Dad encouraged us to join Little League, the school band, school sports and it was here that our father passed along to us his lifelong love of golf.
Fifteen years later, he returned to Silver City when he accepted the job of comptroller of the Chino mine. Bob turned in his retirement papers to Kennecott in 1980 but then accepted the comptrollership of Inspiration Mine in Globe Arizona. He finished his career as the CFO of Pegasus Gold and comptroller of Pegasus's Black Pine gold mine where he oversaw the installation of the first shaft.
But the Black Hills were his first love and after finally accepting retirement, he moved here to be with his younger sisters, Dorothy and Laura, and his boyhood friends. Despite being a thousand miles away, his two brothers Ray and John visited at every opportunity. All of us agree that Dad's fourteen years in Spearfish were the happiest of his life.
Bob died Tuesday among his many friends and to our knowledge, he held no regrets.
He is survived by his wife Jean and three sons; Bob, Bill, and John.

In the mid-1940s, Doris and her family moved to South Dakota where she has basically remained with the exception of a short time in Colorado and the winters in Florida. She was always as eager to return to the Black Hills during its perfect weather as she was to head "south" when the cold winds blew in.
Doris was employed as a secretary at the Lawrence County Courthouse and the Ford Auto Dealership in Deadwood during the 1960s, and also worked for Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Denver before her marriage to Albert Gerald Cole in 1971, who preceded her in death in 1982.

She will be greatly missed by special friend, Mitch DeNoble of Hawthorne, N.J., and her many close friends in the Spearfish area.
