Glen Bertram Obituary
It is with great sadness we announce that Glen David Bertram of Kamloops, BC, passed away on August 30, 2022.
Glen is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Marlene Bertram; his son, Kevin Bertram and his daughter, Cheryl Gant. Glen is also survived by four grandchildren: Amy (Todd); Rebecca (Ben); Glen (Aleisha) and Karianne Jayna and 10 great grandchildren: Kaiden, Makena, River, Ryan, Rosalie, Emily, Dusty, Annalee, Sylvi and Loki, as well as extended family.
Glen was predeceased by his oldest daughter, Linnea and his four siblings.
Glen was born September 21, 1931 in Enderby, BC to Lloyd and Ethel Bertram and grew up mainly in the Penticton area. He started with the BC Forest Service as a dispatcher at the age of 19 at Kettle Valley. He became an Assistant Ranger in Cranbrook, where he met the love of his life, Marlene. They moved to Golden where their first child, Linnea was born. Glen attended Ranger School in 1956/57 and worked as a Ranger at Chatham, Alert Bay, and Ganges. They had their other two children, Kevin and Cheryl, during this time. The family then moved to Richmond where Glen worked in Reforestation in the Vancouver district. In 1972, they moved to Hope for Glen to take on the Ranger position. The last few years prior to retirement, Glen worked as an Operations Manager in Rosedale. He retired in 1986. Glen and Marlene lived in Hope for 42 years. During that time, Glen was very active in the Kawkawa Lake Volunteer Fire Department. Glen and Marlene travelled a lot; visiting Sweden, Hawaii and Australia as well as cruising extensively. They also made numerous trips on the Gold Wing throughout Canada and the United States. They moved to Kamloops to be closer to family in 2016.
There will be no formal ceremony, the family will have a small private function at a later date.
Special thanks to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for the care they gave Dad in his final days.
