He is also survived by his brother Ross Wilson of Chilliwack, BC, Aunt Marg Reid of Mississauga, ON, Aunt Mary Reid of Vancouver and many cousins in Winnipeg and across Canada; and Barries family; Mary Chalmers, Joan and Harry Hartley of Calgary, and Bill and Merle Chalmers of Winnipeg, and their families. Glenn was predeceased by his parents, James M. and Margaret E. Wilson. Glenn joined the Manitoba Telephone System in 1953, and held various positions in the plant, engineering, personnel and marketing departments. In 1981 Glenn was appointed General Regional Manager, Northern Region. He returned to Winnipeg in 1983 and worked in a number of other disciplines, retiring as Director of Real Estate in 1990. Glenn helped organize and coach the house hockey league program at Wildwood Community Club and at one time chaired the Blood Donor Recruitment Program of the Red Cross. He was active in sports; football, soccer, hockey, curling, golf, bowling, but especially enjoyed water fowl and upland game hunting and fishing. His backyard vegetable garden was also a passion. One of his favourite past times was betting on the NFL games with Bill. Of course, no one came out a big winner. Cremation has taken place. To respect Glenns wishes, there will be no service.

Glenn was my oldest and dearest friend. We chummed together from our early childhood on Morley Ave.W. It's been many years since he passed but there is never a day goes by that I don't think of him and wish that we could sit and have one of our old chats about all and sundry. We spent many happy hours,in places like the Delta and Riverton marshes. Our adventures weren't confined to hunting and fishing but covered a myriad of activities. I used to kid him and tell him, I would one day write a book about our exploits over a period of 65+ years. He promised to sue me if I did. Perhaps I will! - Posted by: "Jug " (Friend) on: Jan 25, 2013
