Glenn would always say that he knew more about baseball than most people.
To put it lightly Glenn was a driven baseball fanatic.
His passion for sports in general was well known especially his love of the Leafs and Blue Jays.
He played baseball and could be heard by anyone within a ¼ mile range yelling “I got it! I got it! I got it!” as he patrolled the outfield like a pro. He worked in sales from health and beauty and in the food industry with Robin Hood Multifoods.
He became one of the first franchise owners in Canada for Subway (Sandwiches & Salads), during his entire working career he always made connections with people as he was very much a people person.
Family and friends will be welcomed at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME (5295 Thickson Rd. N. Whitby) on Sunday November 19th from 1:00 - 4:00 for a Celebration of Life Visitation.
In Memory of Glenn, donations to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

They were closely involved with the Tyrone United Church community for many years and often volunteered whenever possible. Gerry had a giving and loving spirit and always had time for an in depth conversation about how you and your family were doing.
She always took the time to get to know everyone in her community and everyone that knew her, loved her. Gerry was quietly a spiritual woman and her belief in her God's love was unwavering.
She led our family as the strong willed matriarch for many years with a kind word and a gentle nudge in the right direction.
