STUART SMITH

Stuart Smith passed away peacefully, on March 7, 2025, three days after being diagnosed with Acute Leukemia; he was still walking 5kms a day up until four weeks before! He leaves behind his wife of 57 years, Nancy (nee Keith); his children, Christina (Bill), Malcolm (Martha) and Owen (Divya); and his grandchildren, Mary Anne, Ruth, Pema, Oren, Aaditya and Amaan. He was born in 1937 in Blackpool, England, and attended University College London for seven years before coming to Canada and working in the Mathematics Department of University of Toronto until retirement. During retirement he still dreamed about prime numbers, but he also travelled extensively, both overseas and in the far north of Canada, he dragged logs around their Madoc property to build many towers and structures, and, most importantly, spent time with the family that he quietly but deeply loved. A celebration of life will be held on April 27th at 2:30 p.m. in the Christie Gardens' auditorium.
