Glenn was a dedicated worker since the age of 18 and spent 47 plus years as a professional long haul truck driver. He was a devoted son, husband, father and friend who was always willing to lend a hand. He had many cherished memories at the trailer and later at the cottage on Weslemkoon Lake with family and friends. Glenn had many hobbies, one of which was his love of gardening, he could never have enough flowers. Glenn was a life long Toronto Maple Leafs fan, even though they failed him year after year.
