Glen will be deeply missed by his children Christina Core (Rob) and Keith Graham and his grandchildren Brittany Walsh (Evan), Tyler Core (Meghan) and Serenity Graham (Rex Evans). Glen was a very proud great grandfather to Theodore and Eleanor Walsh. Survived by brother Lee Graham and by his sisters Elaine Barber, Joann Molitor (Wayne), Janet Deans (Wayne), and Ann DelBen (Vito) and many nieces, nephews and friends. He will be greatly missed by his lifelong friend and road trip companion Bryan Strangway.

Glen loved his family dearly, proud father of two, three beloved grandchildren and two adored great grandchildren. He grew up on his family’s farm located on the 8th line of Moore township. Glen lived most of his life in the Brigden area. Glen was a very proud member of the Local 793 for 51 years where he worked as a heavy equipment/crane operator. Glen has been retired for 20 years, during his retirement he loved rebuilding tractors and various equipment and had a few side businesses. Glen could never pass by a garage sale without stopping in search for equipment in need of a little tlc to bring it back to life then resell it. Glen was always willing to lend a helping hand to his family, friends and neighbors or anyone in need. Glen attended the Adult Enrichment Centre at Lambton Meadowview four days a week, which brought him great joy. Laura, Lindsay, Becky, Sarah and Lisa provided lots of daily activities and that kept him entertained. The entire staff made a huge impact on his life as he did theirs, he will be forever missed. As a resident of Bear Creek Terrace retirement for the past six years, he was a very well-known figure throughout the entire building. He always greeted everyone with his big warm smile, offered a handshake or a high five and loved to tease and joke with the staff. Many of the staff became extended family to him especially Leanne, Amy, Deb, Linda, Jody, Taylor and his niece Carrie. We appreciated all the support and love given to him and his family over the years.
