 es, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. Born in Kenora,
 Ontario, Glenn grew up an avid fisherman and lover of
 the outdoors. His interest in commerce brought him to
 Thunder Bay, where he studied at Lakehead University.
 As fate will have it, he was hospitalized following a se-
 rious car accident in 1974, where he met student nurse
 (and future wife) Gayle. They married in 1978 and had
 three children together. Glenn later moved his family
 to Southern Ontario in 1986 for a promising job op-
 portunity. He would go on to have a rewarding career
 in Toronto as a Risk Management executive at George
 Weston Limited/Loblaw Companies Limited. Despite
 the change in scenery, Glenn proudly remained con-
 nected to his northern roots. Glenn will always be re-
 membered as one of a kind. His warm, genuine nature
 and playful sense of humour brought so much light
 to those around him. Memories of his joyful spirit and
 smile will forever warm our hearts. A celebration of his
 life will be held in February. In lieu of flowers, donations
 in Glenn’s memory may be made to Parkinson Canada.
