Glenn farmed on the Rabbit Path in Kinburn and kept a fine herd of Holsteins under the prefix Mapleigh.

He was involved and active in many farm organizations and trained an uncountable number of young men and women in the Farm Labour Pool.

After retiring, Glenn became an avid curler, lawn bowler and shuffleboard player. He loved people and loved to chat and tell stories and pass along a good joke.

At Orchardview in Almonte he made many new friends, great memories and of course loved chatting with the guys in the bistro.

Many thanks to Julie, Michael, Lisa and the staff who treated Glenn so well and who he had so much fun with.

To Dr. Ray and the nursing staff at the Almonte Hospital, we are indebted for the exceptional care and compassion you provided Dad over the years.
