IN a decade long hindsight that deal was a very good one for shareholders given technology was in effect dead shortly there after.

Very sad news today.

A Halifax technology executive who died last week was praised by colleagues Monday for his “consummate professionalism” and “unrivalled breadth of skill.”

Michael Smith, vice-president of business development at ViewPoint Realty Services in Bedford, died Thursday of respiratory and heart problems at the age of 48.

“Mike was an engineer by education but it was really in marketing and business development that he made his mark,” said ViewPoint founder Bill McMullin.

“He could manage more detail and juggle more balls productively than anyone I’d ever met. As an entrepreneur, I used to think to myself, ‘Thank God he’s working with us.’.”

According to his obituary, Smith graduated from Sackville High School, where he was the recipient of the Governor General’s Medal.

After graduating from Dalhousie University and the Technical University of Nova Scotia, he worked for Proctor and Gamble in Toronto then returned to the Maritimes to work for Maritime Tel & Tel.

He joined McMullin at InfoInteractive, a small technology startup that was eventually sold to AOL-Time Warner. Smith later joined TrueCheck Inc.

“We’ve lost someone who is truly irreplaceable,” said McMullin.

Smith is survived by his wife and two sons.
