Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

• I’d like to come back on here to share some of his life, I’m not sure if anybody looks at this anymore but his obituary is pretty bare so I’m going to share some stories from my life, when I knew him. He was always the wild child, full of life. He’d have certain traditions with me, going out to A&W and having me eat the big papa burger, taking us out to Lac du Bonnet to spend some time with his A.A friend Charlie, doing yard work together, picking the peas from his garden and eating them right after, BBQing sirloin burgers and eating them inside with “extra old cheese”, lightning up sparklers and just playing in the yard. He never lost touch of himself, always staying true and not giving a s- what people thought of it. I remember his loving, caring character the most. He’d always value my help, whether it was in the yard, shovelling snow, or teaching me how to use the weed eater in his yard for a couple bucks, and he was always so proud of me. Thats the version of him I’ll always remember most. He taught me how to be hard working, how to care for your yard and house and how to always stay strong during tough times. I helped him and he helped me. Now, being the age of 17, I can understand his life and certain things a lot much clearer. I remember he always liked the simple things, whether it was sitting out in the yard getting a tan, or having his cup of coffee in the morning. Most people would look over that stuff, but to him and me, it was some of the best times for us. He looved our cat Shadow, always feeding him treats and playing and constructing toys for our cats. He even made a “cat condo” he would call it where he made sort of a railing and a seating place right up top in the living room allowing Shadow and our previous kitty to sit up there with us. He loved playing “3D Bowling” on the computer with me. I always hated it because I thought it was boring but he’d make me play and I’d always win against him but he didn’t care, he was bonding with me and having fun. He also loved “Bubble Shooter” and would challenge me to get a bigger high score than him on it which I sometimes did, but I will give him the “champ” title for that one. Whether it was making cookies, making pizza from scratch or helping him cook our Christmas dinner, he always made it feel special. I miss the warmth of his home, my room, and the safety that I felt there. I miss our traditions. He was the kind of dad to be proud of me for just about anything.. even standing my ground against bullies in probably the worst possible way. But in the end, he was always on my side. I believe he learnt many things from me too, like how to raise a kid, let alone a daughter during her pre-teen phase or showing him how to operate his computer or TV. I will continue to tell your story as I knew it dad, to anyone that wants to hear. I will continue our traditions onto my possible future kids and maybe take a trip back out to Lac du Bonnet for the day. I won’t ever let you be forgotten in this growing world of billions of people. Our father/daughter relationship wasn’t always harmonious but it was always special in a way that some people in this world will sadly never be able to experience. I am 17 now, graduating soon and heading to university. Dad, I know you’d be so proud of me as you were here on Earth, I know it from the bottom of my heart. I’ll never ever forget the impact you had on my life as every girls father does and our little traditions that meant a lot to both of us. God may you rest in peace. Love, your daughter April. P.S., I know how to cook now and I know I can make a mean grilled cheese that you would’ve loved. ❤️ - Posted by: April (Daughter) on: May 19, 2026

• He was my father, I luckily did get to spend my childhood with him and we were always together on Wednesdays and weekends. Reading through this almost 2 years later, it feels unreal how much time has really passed because my brain cant comprehend how long I’ve been without my father. Please, if anyone has some stories of him when he was younger, I’d love to hear. I miss and love you dad, always. - Posted by: April (Daughter) on: Mar 22, 2026

• So sorry to hear of Glen’s passing. We were childhood friends and neighbors. We had many happy times together going to the lake, sleeping in Neil’s gazebo and growing up in Transcona. Glen was wild, full of life and fun to be around. I will always cherish those youthful memories. My deepest condolences to Glen’s family and especially Wendy and Kelly. God rest my friend from the Simpson family. - Posted by: Gary Simpson (Friend/former neighbor ) on: May 04, 2024
