When my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer he immediately turned to Uncle Glen for support and advice, and continued to do so until his passing. Uncle Glen offered the positive outlook and encouragement that my dad needed. After dad died, I too found comfort in speaking to Uncle Glen. He ALWAYS had a positive comment and made me feel better. They were two terrific men!!

We always looked forward to Glen's cheery greeting every morning at Sherritt. Even when things were not going well he could always find the bright side. We will miss him.

Kelly,
I will always remember your Dad for his sense of humour and positive outlook on life. Always one for a good joke, his presence made the Sherritt office a fun place to work.
He will be missed by all who have had the priviledge of knowing him.

I have known Glen for about 20years.
In all that time I fondly remember a
funnny or kind greating always sincerly asking how are you.Through his sickness Glen impressed me with his strength. I will miss the talks we had at lunch time at the golf course but always remember Glen fondly. Kevin Laramee

Every time he set foot in the clubhouse he had this way of brightening up my day. I think it was the way he said " Tanis my dear"! He always had time to tell me a story or perhaps even just give me a hug. Mr.Peterson was a great man and I am glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him.
