I was a colleague of Glen´s at Winona and Ancaster. I will always remember his "generosity": his generous love of life; of his generous laugh. Glen didn´t take himself too seriously in the very best sense of the expression. He will be missed by many colleagues.

It has been an honour to work with Glen for so many years on the ball Diamond. He is a gentleman. Go peacefully my blue brother.

You umpired my games when I played and later on we umpired games together. We had a great time . I´ll always remember the night you called me safe at second base and I got mad because I thought you called me out. We had many a laugh over that call. You will be missed.

I am saddened to hear of Glenn´s passing. I will always remember how joyous and lively he was at Saltfleet High School. Every Valentine´s Day, Glenn would deliver floral vases to all the female staff. We would walk in early in the morning to find his gift waiting for us. This went on for years until he retired. I send my deepest condolences to Faye and family.

Condolences. RIP Glen. He was the first ZUIC when I started with Softball Ontario. Always had a few good tips or lessons on the diamond. He treated all games the same.

My condolences to Glen´s family. Glen´s commitment and contributions to softball and softball umpiring are immense. He valued all participants and treated them with kindly, always chuckling with his one-of-kind laugh. His wittiness, sense of purpose and gentle ways will always be remembered by me.

Ryan and I are so sad to hear of Glen's passing. He was a mentor to me when I was trying to get a teaching job and a fantastic friend. I loved his enthusiasm for life and his kindness. He will be missed.
