Lloyd Mackey My condolences, and those of my wife, Edna, to Clara.
Glenn was just a few days older than me. I can recall summers at Camp Imadene and other occasions when we would be part of a group enjoying fellowship together.
May God be with you at this time.

Ken & Penny Plumbly I remember meeting Glenn and Clara in 1988, while volunteering at Camp Imadene when it was located in Maple Bay. Clara was at camp on and off during the summer, and took me to their home one evening. I remember meeting Glenn that first time and being so impressed with how gentle and quiet and solid he was. Very caring and welcoming, both of them.
Looking back, Glenn made an impact on how I looked at people – that everyone has something to share, encourage, give and model, if we would only take the time to listen and learn.
Our thoughts and prayers go to the family – rejoicing that Glenn is celebrating at home with His Heavenly Father, tears because he will be missed by those of us still here on earth.
We just received the BC Fairs Newsletter and are deeply saddened to hear of Glenn’s passing. You both reached out to us when we first joined the Fairs and your friendship has meant a lot to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Clara.
