Glen SMITH Obituary
SMITH, Dr. Glen Gilmour BA, MD, FRCS (C)June 22, 1917 - March 18, 2011 Glen went home to Our Lord at the age of 93 without suffering or pain. He is survived by his loving wife Kathleen, children June (Craig), Bruce (Rose), and Christopher (Nancy) and was an adored Poppa to Danny, Graeme, Heather (Dustin), Sean, Deanna, Samuel, Mitchell, Genevieve and great-grandson Austin. Born in Toronto to Daisy and Dr. Oswald J. Smith, Glen and sister Hope and brother Paul (both deceased) grew up devout Christians in their father's People's Church. After becoming a medical doctor, Glen and his family moved to Vancouver in 1952, where he practised at the Seymour Medical Clinic and taught Obstetrics and Gynaecology at UBC. Glen raised his family happily in Vancouver, where he had many close friends and associates. He often said how glad he was to have moved to Vancouver in the early days. In lieu flowers donations would be appreciated to the Out of the Cold program at the Tenth Avenue Alliance Church, 11 W. 10th Avenue, Vancouver BC V5Y 1R5. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday April 15 at 2 p.m. at the South Delta Baptist Church, 1988 56 St., Tsawwassen.

Mrs. Smith and family,
It is still hard to call you Kay after being my Pioneer Girls leader when I was much younger. That being said, we enjoyed a very special time at Tenth Avenue Alliance under Mr. Brooks/Fowler etc.
I hold you up in prayer for comfort that only Heaven can bring.

My prayers go to the Smith family. Dr. Smith was my OBGYN for many years. In 1982 when I was pregnant with my daughter, Jessica, it was a complicated pregnancy. He took such
good care of me. His bedside manner was second to none. His gentle way of speaking was so comforting. Thanks to that wonderful man, my daughter is nearly 29 and she has blessed me with a grandson. This most likely would not be the case if it weren't for Dr. Glen Smith. I will be forever grateful. God Speed.

Dear Kay and family
We will never forget Dr Smith's care of Flora in her delivery of Jennifer our first child. He was there to not only give medical help but spiritual help. We will also not forget our days together at 10th ave Alliance. Our prayers are with you as you say goodby to Glen.
in love

Though Dr. Glen Smith had many professional accomplishments as a physician, his greatest accomplishment by the grace of God was being a godly man of integrity, a loving husband and father and raising a godly family.
