Glen was predeceased by his son Jim. He will be missed by many friends and extended family. Glen was born on September 27, 1922 in Saskatoon, SK. He spent many of his early years growing up in Northern Manitoba at Gods Lake and Sherridon where he met Bette. He joined the RCAF and served as a Wireless Air Gunner during the Second World War. He returned from service and hired on with the Canadian National Railway where he worked as a Locomotive Engineer, Instructor, Train Master, Master Mechanic. His railway career allowed him to live and work in Winnipeg, MB, Rainy River, ON, Edmonton and Calgary, AB, Smithers, BC, eventually retiring in 1982 at Gimli, MB as a Manager/Instructor with the CN Rail Transportation Training Centre. After retirement Glen and Bette moved to Winnipeg where he worked as a Commissionaire for several years. Glen loved to listen to music and in his early years would play guitar with his family and friends. He was an avid reader and in the past several years enjoyed his time spent on his computer with his train and flight simulators. Glen had a great sense of humour and enjoyed telling and sharing jokes. For the past eight months he lived with his son John and family. Dad enjoyed being with his family where he found comfort in their company especially being closer to his two grandsons Tyler and Alex, Ga we'll miss you .
