Ronald Jack Smith

Cambridge Memorial Hospital on March 25, 2023 just shy of his ninety second birthday.

He is survived by daughter Kim Smith (Kenn Thomas) of Cambridge. Also survived by

sister and brother-in-law Linda and Roy Reeby, four nephews and numerous cousins in

England.

Predeceased by his parents Edward Smith and Freda Smith (Martin), sister Barbara

Townsend and brother Tony (in infancy). His greatest loss was my mother Mona Smith

(Slade) in 2017 after 64 years of marriage.

Dad was a man of humble beginnings who joined the Royal Navy in 1947 as a young

teenager, serving until 1956. The Navy is where he received his greatest education in life

by traveling to exotic lands on the rolling sea which he loved. There he also studied electrical

engineering which was put to good use after immigrating to Canada with my mother. In 1958

he secured a position at Allen Bradley ( Rockwell) in the test and quality control department

where he stayed until retiring in 1991.

Dad was a gentleman and a gentle man. He had an amazing artistic talent for painting and

drawing in many different mediums. He also enjoyed writing poetry that was often quite

amusing or profoundly moving. I will miss him immensely.

Thank you to the many doctors, nurses, PSW's and technicians who cared for him during his

last week.

There will be no visitation or funeral service and cremation has taken place. In memory of

Ron donations to the Charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
