DONALD ROBERTSON SMITH On Friday, September 16, 2016, Mr. Donald Robertson Smith passed away peacefully in Toronto, in the presence of family after a two-year spirited battle with cancer. Don, the son of the late John Smith and Lilian Smith (McEwan) was born June 19, 1934 in Toronto, Ontario. Don proudly served the Scarborough Board of Education and deservedly retired in 1995.

Don also leaves a host of devoted lifelong friends – too many to list – as everyone that met Don became his friend.
