VERNON GARY SMITH

VERNON GARY SMITH 1951 – 2024
Gary passed away on September 18th at the age of 73. He leaves to cherish his memory his brother, Guy (Gay) and sister, Gail (Jason). He was predeceased by his brother, Lyle and his parents, Margaret and Lyle Smith. Gary grew up and was educated in Medicine Hat and then continued his education at the University of Manitoba where he graduated with a master’s degree at the age of 23. He played hockey for the University of Manitoba Bisons for three years.

Gary taught in Canada for about ten years before he headed overseas to teach in Asia for well over 25 years. He had positions in Burnei, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Dubai working with local teachers on how to teach English.

In his retirement years he enjoyed watching the Blue Jays, hockey and football while having a little Scotch on ice. He will be dearly missed and, in our hearts, always.

There will be no formal service to follow his personal wishes. Condolences may be made at www.gracememorial.com. Arrangements are made by
