It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Don Smith, beloved husband of Sandy Smith. Don was a long time member at Chinguacousy Curling. His passion for the game had no bounds, but it was most demonstrated in his desire to share the sport with anyone that would give it a try. He was always available to assist with clinics and “Try It” sessions, teaching and encouraging others to take up the game he so loved. He will be dearly missed at Chinguacousy Curling.

Don was a valued member of the St. Paul’s United Church community, a dedicated Big Brother and most recently a recipient of a Governor General’s award.

A funeral service will be held on FridayOctober 2^nd at 11:00am in the sanctuary of St. Paul’s United Church at 30 Main St. S in Brampton, On.

Visitation will take place at the church beginning at 10:00am.

May he rest in peace.
