Reverend Canon Gregory William Smith
Suddenly on Saturday, May 6, 2023 in London, Greg passed in his 70th year. He will be greatly missed by his family and large group of loving friends and colleagues.
Beloved soulmate of Marque, loving and proud dad of Andrew (Melissa), Cate, and Paul (Chantel), lovingly remembered by Maureen and his 6 grandchildren; Caitlynn, Dylan, Devyn, Zachary, Lyon and Gabriel and his big sister Sherry (Rick). Predeceased by his parents William Albert and Ruth Smith.
Greg loved spending time in his garden and being out in the beauty of nature. He loved his books, old cheesy musicals, music, and most of all, dance. Known fondly as “Father Greg” to many, he served as a spiritual leader in the Anglican diocese at St. John the Evangelist, (London), St Thomas (Granton), St. Patrick’s (Saintsbury) and St. Paul’s (Kirkton), Transfiguration (London), Christ Church (London), St. Aidan’s (London), St. Michael and All Angels (London), and was the Director of Field Education at Huron College (2013- 2020). Greg was the Director Designate of the Huron Church Camp (1980), The Regional Dean of Medway Deanery (January 1985), Regional Dean of Wellington (1996, 97, 98), Chair of the Huron Hunger Fund (2003) and Canon of the Cathedral of St. Paul (May 27, 2007). Part of his life of service included championing many causes including the Primate’s World Relief and Development fund, the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection, Daya counselling centre, the Justice League and many more. He brought song, joy and connection to many through his work at Huron Church Camp and as an Akela of his cub troop, his Sunday story times, and children’s festivals. Generous of spirit, he was always available to his friends and ready for a good time, good food, some karaoke or, in the right season, Christmas caroling.
Family and friends are welcome for visitation on Thursday, May 11th, 2023 from 2-4 and 6-9 pm at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. The funeral service will be held on Friday, May 12th, 2023 at 10:30 am at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 472 Richmond Street, London. Cremation to follow with a private family interment in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, London at a later date.
