Brit Smith passed away over the weekend at age 103, and leaves behind a legacy of business excellence and generosity.
Arthur Britton ‘Brit’ Smith did just about everything he set his mind to, but often didn’t seek recognition for it.
“I shouldn’t tear up after 70-odd years, but I think about incidents like that,” said Smith in a 2016 interview. Donations included $200,000 to help build the downtown sports and entertainment centre and $2 million to support the Kingston hospital redevelopment campaign in 2007.
