Robert Glenn Freeman
February 2, 1936 – May 4, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Glenn Freeman in his 86th year. Glenn passed away peacefully at the Niagara General Hospital on May 4, 2022. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Sybil, just this past February.
He was born in Hamilton on Groundhog Day and raised by the late Ernest (Ernie) Freeman and Era Maie Purdy.
Glenn and Sybil were married in June of 1956 and raised their two sons, David (Teri) and Robert (Lynne) in St. Catharines and Fonthill.
One of Glenn’s greatest joys were his grandchildren; Papa will be missed by Alyssa (Mark), Susie (Eric), Tori, Sarah, Julia, and Robert. Glenn also got to meet and adore his great-granddaughter, Kit, over the last year.
As a former high school teacher, Glenn spoke fondly of his experiences with all of his students. He would also reminisce about working for the English Electric Company of Canada often.
In his retirement, Glenn was passionate about restoring his 1955 Chrysler Imperial among other antique cars. He and Sybil would travel around with their friends to car shows and attendees would marvel over his attention to detail. The many, many trophies that he brought home also proved how impeccable his restorations were.
He will be fondly remembered by family, friends and former students.
The family will gather for a private interment of both Glenn and Sybil at Fonthill Cemetery on a later date.
