GLENDENNING (GLEN) FRED DOUGLAS R.C.N.V.R. October 8, 1925 - December 17, 2011 Glen will be remembered lovingly by his wife Peggy of 66 years, sons Wayne (Mavis), and Terry (Cathy), grandchildren Paul (Leigh), Tiffany (Adam), Chelsea (Tim), Adam and Ashlee (Calby), great-grandchildren Carson, Jake, Theo and Ava, sisters May Potten (British Columbia) Eileen Bartlett and nephew Dale. Glen was born and raised in Winnipeg. Growing up in St. James, he enjoyed roller blading, speed skating, horseback riding and playing hockey. When the Second World War broke out, he signed up (underage) to defend his country. He was transferred to Halifax to serve as Stoker First Class on the ships Victoriaville and Huron. He met Peggy in 1944. They married while Glen was on leave in 1945. After the war, Glen and Peggy moved to East Kildonan. He worked at West Steel until retirement. Family, friends and community were his focus in life. He built his family a cottage at Falcon Lake where he made lasting friendships. He was sports director at Morse Place Community Club for many years. He loved sports and was equipment manager for the Monarch hockey team. Glen was a life member for No. 9 Legion. He was a talented handyman and was always ready to help anyone who asked. He had a love of music, Western movies, and books and could always get a laugh from M.A.S.H. and All in the Family. His sense of humour kept us laughing but nothing compared to his big heart. He was a good man. A service will be held on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Savior's Anglican Church (Munroe and Grey). Reception will follow at No. 9 Legion at 920 Nairn Ave. The family would like to thank the staff at Deer Lodge Centre (T4). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to No. 9 Legion or a charity of your choice.
