Greg SMITH Obituary

Published by Ottawa Citizen on Mar. 31, 2018.

SMITH, Greg September 27, 1957 - March 28, 2018 Greg passed away peacefully in his sleep early Wednesday morning. Beloved son of Victoria and the late Douglas Smith. Loving father of Curtis (Liz), Colin (Melissa) and Laura (Julien). Greg adored his grandkids Garrett, Ryker and Avery. Survived by his siblings Rev. Jeffrey (Kathryn), Marilyn McCarthy (Paul) and Nancy James (Michael). Greg will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews and friends. Greg took great pride in his work and was a mainstay in the Ottawa moving community. Greg was a skilled scrabble player, amateur photographer and loved our national pastime, taking great pleasure in his role of hockey Dad. He will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Greg's life will be held on Wednesday, April 4, at 2 p.m. at St James Anglican Church in Manotick, Ontario. Visitation will be held 1 hour prior to service. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation would be much appreciated.

Greg was a very good friend of mine for many years. I helped him coach Curtis and Colin's hockey team one year and he worked very hard at keeping it fun while providing the players with a great experience. We spent time together in Edmonton when he was working in the oil drilling industry. Back in Ottawa my wife Debbie and I were part of his regular social circle and he was always fun to be with. I was very sad to hear of his passing but I will remember him fondly as a generous friend and caring person. I have attached a photo of Greg with myself, Karl and Mark Ablack. My sincere sympathies to his entire family.

We are heartbroken at the loss of Greg. Watching him growing up to become a special and loving man has been a privilege. My children always looked up to him as their older brother. We will miss him terribly.

So sad to hear the news of Greg's sudden death this past week. Remembering a kind and gentle soul who was always a good-natured but determined competitor at events related to family gatherings and Wolfenberg reunions. And such a talented photographer! He will be greatly missed by both friends and family.

We were so sad to read of Greg's passing. We have fond memories of Greg, particularly when you children were young: community events, hockey, t-ball, and so on. Our deepest condolences to you Curtis, Colin, Laura, and to the rest of the family. We will keep you all in our thoughts.

I will always remember Greg from our confirmation classes. He was quiet but always quick to smile. To all his family, we extend our heart of sorrow and prayers. We pray that at this time you can find comfort in each other and through the tender heart of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Melinda and Paul Conner

Deeply saddened to hear.

My memories of Greg on diving board at regency court during those summer holidays are still vivid.

Rest in peace Greg.
