Condolence: Gord was a vice principal who was an efficient at his job as vice principal, and referee, and basketball coach. He was strict but he was still an inspiration on all his students. I last heard about him from a retired gym teacher. His daughter will be proud of him to b school principal because she married a gentleman who also became a vice principal at the same highschool I attended to.

Condolence: What a loss. Mr Smith was a great educator, and a good man. I remember him so well from BSS. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Condolence: I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Smith. My sympathies to his family. Gord Smith was one of my highschool teachers at Bayside SS. We were both there at the beginning. I remember his excitement (which he rarely showed) at the prospects of heading up a brand new athletic program. The physical education staff he headed was second to none and the program was exceptional. He had a cool, tough exterior but certainly a soft spot for those of us in sport. He had very conservative values and I had an uphill battle convincing him that cheerleading could be athletic. But I did and he was even open to listening to my persuasive argument that cheerleaders were a big part of the football experience. In the end, he let us travel on the buses with the players to away games. He respected individuals who were committed and principled . He carried these values in his teaching and into his position of vice principal. I held him in high regard as a teacher and when I returned a few years later and told him I, too, had gone into education that ever present smile came across his face. I think he took some pride in all his students accomplishments. Thank you Mr Smith for being such a great role model to a bunch of 70's students.

Condolence: sending My thoughts and prayers to Penny and Family(Ken, Stephanie, Jaclyn and Ellen Manderville) during this difficult time and I will miss seeing Gord come into our beloved Church decorating for an occasion and his legacy will always live on!!! For now just think of the Party he is getting from my Mom Laura, my 2 Grandmothers and Verna McLellan up there with Jesus!!! May god rest his soul, Gord will be missed!!!

Condolence: Thank you Gord for the many great conversations. You'll be missed so much by so many. Our sincerest condolences to your friends and family.

Condolence: The community has lost a great person but he will always be alive in the personalities of all the people he has touched during his lifetime but especially in the hearts of his many students, As a parent of one of those students I greatly appreciated his caring attitude towards my children and his involvement in the Moira Secondary’s Athletic programs..

Condolence: Penny and family- it is with great sadness to hear of Gord's passing. Difficult to express the impact he had on so many - from students to colleagues and friends. We learned so much from his character and conduct. My association with him through school sport has helped shape my values and hopefully this has made me a better teacher and coach-as well as a better person.

Condolence: Penny & Family;

Wanted to make this trek down to Bellville, My mother passed away and we are dealing with our family matters here.
Just wanted to express my sincere best wishes to you and the family on the passing of Gord. He was a dear friend and comrade of football, we worked together on the Vanier Cup 2006 , Mitchel Bowl, Yates Cups, and most of all his last OUA game of football on the field. He was a mentor, great friend and I will miss him greatly with our impromtu conversations and insights to the game of football. My best wishes to all. My prayers are with you.

Condolence: Penny and family: We were so saddened to hear of Gord's passing. We have many wonderful memories of Gord; especially when we worked together in the Belleville area. Our deepest condolences. Mike and Sally
