HOWIE, Donald Barry ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It is with sadness that the family of Donald (Don) Barry Howie announces that Don passed away in hospital on the morning of May 17, 2021. He is fondly remembered by his wife, Barbara, his children Megan and Michael, and his grandson Caspian. Don was born August 1, 1949, to Alice (nee Sellen) and Donald Murray Howie in Winnipeg, Manitoba. After graduating the University of Manitoba, Don and Barbara (nee Blackman) married and relocated to Oakville, Ontario where they began their family. Don was active in youth sports and curling, was a member at the Oakville Golf Club and enjoyed walks with family through Oakville's ravines and trails. Don grew many friendships through his business experiences with Great West Life, MD Management, and other ventures. A memorial service will be announced in the coming months. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in memory of Don to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (www.camh.ca). SMITH, Terence (Terry) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Terence (Terry) Smith passed peacefully at home while surrounded by his family on May 22, 2021 at 63 years of age. Terry was the loving husband of Francine Landry for more than 38 years; father to Whitney (Cameron), Joel (Katie), and Scott; Grandad to Gabriel and Clementine; brother to Bill (Debbie), Sue (Blair), and Kathy (Mike); and son of Joan and John (Bill) (pre -deceased 2019). Terry was born in Toronto and grew up in Madison and Morris Plains, New Jersey, Lorne Park, Ontario, and Kenilworth, Illinois. Terry attended uni- versity at Indiana and McGill before settling with Francine and raising their three children in Oakville, where he lived for 39 years. Terry's remarkable work ethic brought him great success in business. Terry then pursued his passions for architecture, heritage, design and comm- unity by spending the last 11 years of his career in real estate, working alongside his wife and staging partner, Francine. As a realtor, Terry consistently ranked in the top 1% of RE/MAX agents nation- wide and ended his career as the #1 individual sales repre- sentative at RE/MAX Aboutowne (Oakville) in 2020. Terry was a faithful Christian and committed member of his Leader Impact Group. He followed Jesus's example in living by the values of gra- titude, humility, honesty, and service. He found Christ later in life and was a devoted follower until the end of his life on earth. His abiding faith and trust in the Lord was an exam- ple for many. The Town of Oakville bene- fitted greatly from Terry's passions for philanthropy and community. Terry exemplified kindness, compassion, and generosity, and was committed to serving his community and supporting those in need. He was an integral member of the United Way Oakville campaign cabinet and served as its campaign chair in 2016, an active Big Brother, a Goodwill Hamilton/ Halton board mem- ber, a member of the TCRA and OLRA residents' associations, a regular fundraiser for autism programs and charities, and a longtime member and Chair of the Heritage Oakville Committee. Terry was a distance runner who completed many mara- thons. Since 2008, he participated in the annual 24- hour Cabot Trail Relay Race. In 2019, he earned the rare distinction of completing all 17 legs of the relay. Cabot was a testament to Terry's character, as it required incredible deter- mination, perseverance, and teamwork. He forged great friendships on these runs, and he shared the lessons he learned from Cabot with his family and friends. When Terry made friends, he made them for life, and he was grateful everyday for the friendships he cultivated. Terry was witty, fun-loving, and silly, and was quick to crack a dad joke or sing a made up song with his youngest son, Scott. He was a loyal Raptors fan and a devoted Deadhead, having attended dozens of Grateful Dead shows across North America. Terry spent 22 years snowboarding with his family at Holimont in Ellicottville, New York. Terry and Francine chose Holimont for its Phoenix Adaptive Program for skiers with special needs. Terry's dedication to Scott, who is autistic, impacted and inspired us all. He often took Scott out for a few more runs after Scott finished his Phoenix lessons. Terry and Scott are also well known throughout Oakville for their daily long walks around town. Terry's priority was family and he was, above all, an outstanding husband, father, grandad, son, brother, and uncle. Terry was an inspiration to many, and a model for all. He will be deeply missed, but will be in our hearts always. The family would like to thank the incredible medical pro- fessionals who supported Terry through his cancer journey, especially Dr. Lynne Benjamin, Maryann and the rest of their palliative team and the oncol- ogy, palliative and nursing teams at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me.
