Glen was truly an amazing & exceptional family member who will be deeply missed by all of us who were blessed to have known him.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his beloved wife Alice… 55 remarkable, wonderful years, and to Alison, Greg, Gerry & Rachel.
Our deepest sympathy to Alice and family’s. Glen was truly a very nice person, always calm and pleasant when speaking to people. We will miss him. May he rest in peace.
Greg I’m very sorry to read of your father’s passing, my sympathies to you and your family! May your father rest in peace, sincerely Michael Wrafter
I just found out a few minutes ago and wanted to a few words. I’m gutted by the news! My uncle Glen was not just an uncle to me, but a surrogate dad in a way. He was a very important part of my teenage life when I first arrived in Canada in the mid 80’s. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the entire family. I’ll always cherish the fond memories of family get togethers from years gone by.
Dear Alice, I remember Glen as a calm and pleasant person. He may not have talked much but his presence was felt. May you and his children be thankful for the blessed life he had with you through the years and that you will always cherish the memories. On behalf of all the Changs and my husband, Nuke, please accept our heartfelt sympathy.
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to A. Alice, Alison, Greg and all the family. Keeping you all in our hearts and prayers. May dear Uncle Glen rest in eternal peace. Fly high with the angels. Our dear Dad (his brother) will be there to greet him in the heavens. We will miss you dearly. All our love : Donna, Douglas, Christopher and all of the Chung-Yan family 🙏❤️
