Glenn died on August 23, 2014, at the age of seventy-six years, at the Lake of the Woods District Hospital, Kenora, Ontario, with his brother Bob and wife Mary at his bedside. Throughout the last ten months, Glenn has been lovingly cared for by his brother Dr. Waldy Loewen and his wife Gloria.

Glenn was predeceased by his parents: Abraham and Elizabeth Loewen; by two sisters: Evelyn Enns, and Mathilda Friesen ( Hiebert ): by brothers Levi, Henry, Dave and Leslie.

Glenn’s name is synonymous with teaching piano. He had a God given gift for teaching; piano in his Steinbach years, and teaching E.S.L. in Vietnam, his home away from home for years prior to his Kenora abode.

Glenn encouraged his brothers to take accordian, trumpet and violin lessons, and in so doing contributed to bringing music into our lives. We are thankful for the many positive and beautiful influences Glenn has had on our lives.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of our Lord!
