Robin SMITH Obituary
Robin was a graduate of SFDCI and worked as a lifeguard and gymnastics coach in his youth. After graduating from the Radio Program at Algonquin College, he worked at CJET, CFMO and CHEZ 106 as copywriter and Production Manager, winning a 'Production Excellence' award from the Ontario Association of Broadcasters.
Robin's greatest calling came as a voice actor, narrating the American releases of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' interactive video games and dvds for over 10 years. He also spent seven seasons creating voices on 'Kevin Spencer' for the Comedy Network and CTV, and 3 years as narrator on 'Truth, Duty and Valour' for CBC. Robin won a 2005 'Cine' and a 2006 'Telly' award for his voice work.
A 'Celebration of Life' for Robin will be held at a later date. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Blair & Son Funeral Home in Smiths Falls. Donations are greatly appreciated to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation.

I can´t imagine how his family feels about this. Although I never met him, I´m sure he was the best uncle, brother, friend, son, and nephew. He made my childhood with his voice in the Thomas DVD menu in the 2000s. I´m here to pay my respects to everyone that knew him.

Robin was immensely talented with a huge range of character voices. He was an amazing performer and was thoroughly hilarious. He had a kind heart and a good soul. He'll be very much missed.- Robin Dumas

I am shattered by this news. Robin was completely unique. He was a driving force to be better and funnier than anyone in the CHEZ and LITE days. He was fearless as a performer. He knew the power of every single word he wrote. He had faith in himself and faith in us before anyone else did. He deserved far more in terms of success and notoriety, but that wasn't what drove him. My deepest sympathies and condolences to family and friends.
