John Smith passed away on December 16, 2018 in Oakville just a few months before his 80 ^th birthday. He is survived by his wife Sally whom he was married to for 54 years. He has one daughter, Nicola (Carlos) and a grandson Noah, who was the apple of his eye!  John spent 48 years in banking which included Barclays Bank in the UK and The Royal Bank of Canada. He was associated with many organizations including the Leander Club in Henley-on-Thames UK and was area chairman of Round Table. In Canada he was a past President of the British Canadian Chamber of Trade and Commerce and The Rotary Club of Oakville. Other associations were the Guild of Freeman, The Worshipful Company of International Bankers, Thunderers and past Master of the Freeman of the City of London.  John and Sally loved to travel and made some great friends on their journeys. Friends and family were  very important to John and he would do anything for someone in need. He will be greatly missed by us all. Please raise a glass to John!!  A celebration of Life will take place at Glen Abbey Golf Club on February 12, 2019 at 11:00 am.
