December 27, 1939 – April 25, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of William Glen Westbrook. With family by his side, he peacefully slipped into a forever sleep at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville at the age of 84.

He will be incredibly missed by his children; Sherry Westbrook, William K. Westbrook and Diana Thomas (Mark), his grandchildren; Taylor Thomas, Alexander Thomas, Jesslyn Thomas and Brandon Osterhout (Vanessa) and his great-grandchildren; Nicholas Smith and Jonathan Thomas and his sister Judy Landon (Robert).

Predeceased by his parents Harvey James Westbrook and Mabel Jean Westbrook (nee Bradley) and his sisters Ruth Schedler (Russ) and Clare Breton (Buck). He couldn’t have fought the never-ending battle of surviving his motorcycle accident in August 2022 without the love and support of his family and his two best friends, David Tate and Wayne Shaw.

Without the constant telephone calls and visits, his new life as a paraplegic would’ve been much different. Special thanks to the nursing staff at Bowmanville Hospital for their endless care and love they showed and to his special PSW’s who cared for him on daily basis at home.

Visitation will be held at Newcastle Funeral Home on Friday, May 3rd from 4:00–7:00 pm. Funeral services will begin Saturday, May 4th at noon with reception to follow.

If desired, donations would be appreciated to the Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Lyndhurst Centre or to a charity of your choice.
