Obituary for Robert William Emerson "Rob" Smith
SMITH, Robert William Emerson
It is with heavy hearts the family of Rob Smith announces his peaceful passing at The Brant Centre, Burlington on Saturday, August 20, 2016 at the age of 59. Predeceased by his beloved wife Marni Richards-Smith (February 5, 2014). Survived by his parents Don and Barb Smith. Loving father of Jodie Grigsby (Derek) and Travis Craig. Cherished grandfather of Shyla Craig. Rob will be dearly missed by his sisters Pam Smitas (Ed) and Luanne Walker (Ryan) and nieces Lauren, and Naomi and nephews Ryan, Christian and Noah. Special thanks to Dr. Turnbull, Joan Martin, Jane Allen and Maureen Hills for their continuing search for the cure of ALS and to CCAC and The Brant Centre for their care and compassion. Visitation at SMITH’S FUNERAL HOME, 1167 Guelph Line, (one stoplight north of QEW) BURLINGTON (905-632-3333) on Wednesday from 6-9p.m. Graveside service at Greenwood Cemetery, Burlington on Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 1p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hamilton Health Sciences ALS Clinic would be greatly appreciated by the family. www.smithsfh.com
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free
