Vicki,
I found out about Glen's passing on a recent visit to Vancouver. I have think of both you and Glen with such good memories. Glen was such an important part of my work/life at the Child Study Centre and his support through both of my graduate degrees. My experiences at the Child Study Centre built a solid foundation for my professional work.
My deepest condolences to all of the family.

I have such happy memories of my times with Glen as a colleague at the Child Study Centre. His passion for his work was catching. His contributions to Early Childhood Education are great. Thank you, Glen.

Dear Vicki, I just heard of Glen's passing and it has made me think again about some of our good times with Glenn at the CSC at the old Kitchener School. In those days he was full of life, travelling to China, organizing the lecture series and meeting with parents and staff. He and I connected because I had done my early childhood training in the United States and he at Texas. We became friends and worked together for some time. We lost touch in the 90's when I left the Centre but often thought of him and our time together. My condolences go to you,Vicky and to your family. He will be missed.
Warmly, Sue and Don Fisher
