Glenn was born and raised in Hamiota, Manitoba, and relocated to Wawa to play hockey for and work with, Algoma Ore Properties, in 1949.  He married Irlma, who was also from Manitoba, in 1958.  They lived an active life together in Wawa, until her death in 1982.  They visited Florida yearly since the early 1960s, trips which Glenn continued for many years.

He retired from Algoma Ore in 1984.  Between visits to Brantford to visit Glenda, he was an active golfer in the Michipicoten Men’s Golf League. In 2011, he relocated to Brantford.
