Robert Jerry Noon, 79, of Belgrade passed away Friday, June 4, 2021. He was born January 2, 1942 in Bozeman to Jeremiah and Violet (Notman) Noon.
Bob grew up near Porcupine Creek in the Gallatin Canyon until moving to Belgrade as a teenager, graduating from Belgrade High School (in the Quaw building) in 1960. He then attended the University of Montana in Missoula, studying Forestry for three years.
