Glenn had many passions. He played goalie with the Toronto Firefighters hockey league and the Toronto Old Timers League. Glenn also enjoyed “hunting” with his buddies which was more often than not just a chance to catch up with some longtime friends with a few drinks around a fire. Glenn loved to sail, go boating with friends, ride the ATV and run any piece of heavy equipment he could get his hands on.

Mostly, Glenn loved spending time with his sons and grandsons, inventing, playing and working together.

Glenn was widely known for his huge smile, large heart, wide shoulders, sense of humour and funny stories. He is remembered fondly by so many, on and off the job, please raise a toast in his honour.
