Allen; Brian Glen
Born June 26, 1943, Brian Glen Allen was an old curmudgeon from a young age. He grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan until he left home at age sixteen, determined to do anything but farm for a living. He hitched a ride to Calgary and from there found a job in Banff, where he beat a bear with a broom, surprising both the bear and himself. Miraculously, he emerged unscathed from his encounter with the bear and went on to join the Royal Canadian Air Force where he served as a radio communications technician from 1961 to 1991, barring the period from 1975 to 1976 when he left the military to grow a beard and become a CBC radio DJ in Churchill, Manitoba. He married Martha Petkau in Grand Centre, Alberta in 1974, and they had three children together, Josi, Heather, and Glen before divorcing in 1992.
After his retirement from the military in 1991, he worked in computers for part of the year, while taking the winters off to travel south to see family and friends in Arizona. His love of travel guided his life and his choices, taking him all across Canada as a member of the military, and outside of Canada to places like Mexico, Japan, Thailand, and Costa Rica. When he at last retired from his part-time technician work, he nevertheless continued to repair computers and donate them to new immigrants to Canada, refugees, and other people in need in his community. He was also an avid bird watcher, albeit from the comfort of his armchair, George. He delighted in feeding the birds, watching them splash about in his birdbath, and chasing off the grackles.
He left this life with grace and dignity on October 25, 2024, surrounded by family. He is survived by his brother Ron, his sister Bonnie, his sister-in-law Linda, his daughters Josi and Heather (Richard), his grandchildren Damir, Dallas (Kassondra), and Zoe (Kenny), and his great-granddaughter Amelia. He is predeceased by his parents Glen and Inez, his brother Terry, and his son Glen. A reception will take place on Friday, November 1, 2024 at the Wartman Funeral Home Napanee from 2-4 pm, words will be shared at 3 pm. Donations in memoriam may be made to the Morningstar Mission or Nature Conservancy Canada.
