I am very saddened to have read of Glenn's passing in the London Free Press. We were young neighbours growing up on Pall Mall St. and attended Lord Roberts Public School together with my sisters and brothers. Glenn always had a big smile and a warm welcome when we would happen to meet out and about around London. Glenn was a very kind, thoughtful and friendly man. My sincerest condolences to his wife, Linda, his son, Daniel , his brother, Barry and his extended family members. Rest peacefully, Glenn. Catharine E. Wallace London, Ontario
I was very sadden to hear from Barry of Glenn’s passing, Linda. We met years ago when visiting as my eldest daughter, Christa, went to Western. My deepest sympathies to you and Daniel. Hugs and prayers. Susan
I recall Glenn as a dedicated Scouter, great with the youth and always able to reach stuff I never could! My deepest condolences to the family.
I met glen through scouting as well as I’m sure a lot of us did. There are so many memories of Glenn that I will never forget. He was a truly incredible man.
I was saddened to hear of Glenn’s passing. My sincere condolences to the Margison family and Glenn’s many friends. Glenn was a kindhearted character. We met in high school where we shared a love of music and laughter. Over the years when our paths crossed, we would gleefully reminisce. Farewell Glenn.
So sad to hear of Glenn’s passing. He was a very memorable student in my grade at Central in the 70’s. I admired his work with Scouting over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda and the entire extended family.
Barry, we are so sorry to hear about Glenn’s passing. We will miss seeing Glenn sitting outside the cottage, reading and enjoying the sun. Sincere condolences to you and your family. Wayne and Beckie Graham

I met Glenn through Scouting as many of us did. He used to get kidded about being tall but always seemed to defer by saying that he was only 5 feet 17 inches tall. We enjoyed so many camping and canoe trips for the 4 - 5 years that we hung out together. He was a great mentor to so many youngsters and fellow Scouters alike. He truly believed in the "out" in Scouting. Youth were encouraged to aspire beyond their comfort zones and learn to become independent whether it be learning how to live and cook in the outdoors or pick up a branch, put some soil in a knotted sock and play lacrosse in an open field. He mentored youngsters to have respect for each other, our country (flag raising and lowering) and for our natural world around us being at a weekend camp or planting god knows how many trees. To Linda and Daniel - our sincere condolences to you at this time. Although he is gone from us far too early, you must know that he has positively touched the lives of so many young people who have fond memories of growing up and enjoying what life has to give. Rick and Jamie Walker formerly of the 20th Scout Troop
a great man with whom I shared many great memories
It was with great sadness that I learned of Glenn's passing. I have so many happy memories of spending time with Glenn as a fellow Scouter at the 70th Scout Troop here in London. Some of my fondest memories with Glenn were at the Canadian Scout Jamboree in Sylvan Lake, Alberta in 2013. He was an extraordinary man. An “Old School Scouter” that I learned so much from. There are many in the Scouting community who will mourn deeply his passing as his was a life of service, love, compassion and excellence. Rest in Peace, my friend. God bless him, Linda and Daniel at this time of sorrow. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and I hope that in a small way they help through these trying times.
Our sincerest condolences Linda and Daniel. There are some people who leave a lasting mark on your life. Scouter Glenn played a central role in our lives for many years. He accepted kids for who they were, he offered lifelong lessons and he challenged those in his troop to step up to new challenges. That’s a pretty special legacy. RIP Scouter Glenn.
I am sorry to read this morning that Glenn had died. While a few years older than me, I remember Glenn well from school. He stood out not only for his height but for his kindness. My condolences to his family and friends.
Linda & Daniel We were so sad to hear of Glenn's sudden passing this past week. The entire Anderson/Cudmore family sends their condolences. If you need anything at all please let me know. Hopefully we can get together sometime soon. Hugs to both you and Daniel. Susan & Jim Anderson

I am so sorry to hear of Glenn's death. He and my late husband Barry were great friends who shared a love of Scouting and model railroading.
Linda and Daniel, I am so sorry for your loss. I am heartbroken for you both to hear of Glenn’s passing. Condolences and prayers to you and the rest of the family.
My sincerest condolences to Glenn’s family and friends. Glenn had a heart as big as life itself. When we were kids he taught me how to play cribbage and crocket. He will be missed by any one who had the honour to know him. RIP Glenn.
Daniel, I am sending love and prayers to you and your mom. I hope you are able to take time to think of happy memories and share funny stories with your family and friends.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences Linda and Daniel. I’ve known Glenn for years and years. He’s one of those people that always stays with you. He’s genuine, kind, funny, happy, compassionate, sincere, a great friend. He was so proud of you, Daniel. Whenever we talked , he always brought you up. The world just lost an amazing person but his soul has left a mark on all of us. There’s a lot to be said for someone that has put smiles on so many peoples faces over the years. 💕
Glenn was a devoted Scouter and our Scouting paths crossed many times. We always took the time to smile and chat. We also shared an interest in cast iron. One of my favorite memories of Glenn was his purchase of a broken waffle iron from my booth at Memory Lane . He fixed it, prepared some waffles and sent me pictures of the waffle. We have lost one of the best. RIP Glenn.
Dear Linda and Daniel Glenn will be missed by anyone who had the chance to know him. I worked with him for years at the Bookstore Western University and enjoyed many conversations with him about his son. He was certainly proud of you Daniel. He also loved talking about his model trains. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. Back in the summer of 2000 I moved to London with my family and was looking forward to entering my last year of scouting. At that time females in scouts were few and far between, and my parents had a really hard time finding a troop that was willing to have a girl in the troop; that was until the day my dad spoke to Glenn. He welcomed me into his troop and I was so thankful. Glenn had a profound impact on my teen years and taught me so many life skills. 22 years later and I would still periodically pop into Rona just to say hi and have a quick catch up. I would walk in and he remembered my name, who I was and all of our past conversations. To think of all the youth he has met over the years - this was truly spectacular. Glenn, I will never forget the man you were and I can imagine how many peoples lives you touched similar to mine. Thank you for being so open, welcoming and generous with your time. Our young (and now old) generations will never forget the impacts you have had on our lives. Until we meet again
