Losing someone we love is never easy, but knowing that we have been able to be a part of Glen’s life, we realize how fortunate we are to have been able to be a part of it. We'll miss you!

I have been with Glen for 41 years, he was the absolute best husband and father to both our sons, Matthew and Michael. He would do anything for his family, especially his sons. He is the love of my life and was there for me through the best and worst times. My heart is truly broken and I do not know if it will ever mend. Glen fought so hard... all the way up to the last days of his life. He fought so hard to make it to our son Mathew, and soon to be daughter-in-law Meagan's wedding. But as Glen said, "if there is a heaven I will be watching them both on their special day." Glen will always be with me. When I look at the boys and they smile like him I will see him. When they say something he would say, I will hear him. I am truly grateful to him for giving me the best thing in my life... our two sons who will also remind me that he is still here with us. Rest in peace - Love always.

My condolences to Darlene, Matthew and Michael. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Glen at every baseball game, watching and cheering on our team. His family was his life. He was a great man and father. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Sixty years ago an excited 9 and 2 year old were looking forward to the arrival of a new brother or sister. Much to our surprise and delight Steve and Glen arrived 3 weeks early in May. Anyone who say two are no more work than one obviously didn't have twins in their family. The ensuing years were a flurry of activity. The twins were very inquisitive and would end up getting in trouble. One year they pulled our Christmas Tree down by standing on either side and pulling it down. The next year they decided to punch out the centres of our Christmas ornaments. For us the difference was obvious but outsiders were not able to tell them apart.

When they started school, the teachers asked mom to dress them differently and put name tags on them. They decided to switch name tags to confuse the teachers more. Due to our age difference, I was away from the house for their tween and teen years but they remained close and had the same interests, especially fast cars and NASCAR, they even followed the same career paths, in the printing and die cutting industry, some of his colleagues are here today.

When Glen met Darlene we knew he had been bitten by the love bug. From then on, she was a part of the family and we were all so excited when they added to their little family with the arrival of Matthew and Michael, both of whom Glen adored. Family dinners were always interesting due to Glen's comedic talent. You never knew if Father Guido Sarducci or a character similar to Russell Peters was going to show up for dinner. He kept us entertained with his antics.

Unfortunately, as with most big families, life takes you in a different direction or path, but I always knew Glen would be there in the bad times. During his 3-week hospital stay, he remained strong for his family and did not lose his wacky sense of humour. On one of our visits, I told him about my 11 year old grandson who recently announced that when he goes on vacation he doesn't want to go to the beach because he might encounter a topless woman. When I said to Glen give him a few years and he'll change his mind, Glen smiled his crooked grin and gave me a thumbs up.

They say with age comes wisdom, so if I could impart any words of wisdom, it would be to hold your dear ones closer, hug them a little tighter and tell them you love them every day.

I can just see him along with Steve and Mom having one of their round table discussions.

Sleep well Glen. Until me meet again.
