With heavy hearts, the family of Layne Francis Black (Smiley) announces his death, at the age of 65, on January 20, 2022 at the Colonel Belcher Health Care Centre in Calgary.

Layne moved to Calgary in 1978 to pursue a career as an accountant and worked for several different oil companies during his career. He was an avid traveler, visited numerous countries and enjoyed many cruises.
During the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, he was proud when chosen as one of the Escort Runners to accompany the Torch Bearers.
As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation or service at this time. His ashes will be placed in the
family plot in the Englehart Cemetery.

In high school Ralph, Lewis and Layne and I were close friends and spent alot of time together. Since high school I saw or communicated with Layne at various times. I have fond memories of Layne. We both worked together at A & W Travel Center before he went to work at the movie theatre. We both became accountants. Layne will be sorely missed. My condolences to all his family and friends.

To Ruth and all your extended families, I was saddened to hear of Layne's passing most times when he was home we would have a little chat, I asked Ruth a couple of years ago if he was coming home on his holiday and she told me then that he had cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. All my love. ❤️❤️
