Sympathy Messages

My deepest sympathy. I will always remember Glen as a humorous and musically talented soul.

I knew Glenn from growing up in Bury. He lived down the hill from us. He was a talented musician. As a teenager I remember being at his home listening to a song on the radio. After, he went to the piano and played it by ear! Our condolences on his passing.

Knew Glenn very well during the time he spent here on the Magdalen Islands. My deepest sympathy to the family during this difficult time.

I knew Glenn through an online church community, Supper Club. He was a funny man full of enthusiasm. May he rest in peace.

I was a classmate of Glenn's at Wycliffe College and with him for his ordination to the Diaconate at the parish church in Bury, and again for his ordination to the priesthood at the Cathedral in Québec City. He has been a faithful friend and regular correspondent for 43 years. He will be missed and never forgotten as long as I have my memories. Requiescat in pace, dear friend.

Glen was in his third year while I was a first-year student at Wycliffe. He helped me navigate the politics of much and we touched base from time to time through the years. A gentle sage for me.

- Rev. Canon Dr. DAvid John Robson, on September 13, 2023

Glenn was a classmate of mine at Wycliffe. I have fond memories of our time together there and particularly when he would play the organ in chapel. I was particularly blessed to be part of a music group called Wycliffe Proclamation that led a parish mission in Bury. May the Lord bless you in this time of grief and sustain you with the hope that Glenn is now with the Lord Jesus, whom he loved so much.
