TABER, Glen Russell - October 4, 1938 – June 16, 2020
After a valiant battle with cancer, Glen passed away peacefully in his eighty-second year, having lived a "good life", as he would often say, with much happiness and fulfilment.
Cherished and remembered fondly by his dear wife Ruth (nee Sirman), beloved daughter Sarah and her partner Benjamin Watts, brother Gary (Cheryl) and nephew Adam, as well as brother-in-law E. Peter Sirman (Ginni), niece Alison (Mark), nephew Peter J. (Krisz) and their respective sons.
He will be missed by friends and neighbours, most of whom live in the incredibly supportive community of Horseshoe Valley.
Born and raised in Toronto.
A move to Horseshoe Valley, north of Barrie, Ontario, in 1998 began a new and exciting chapter in Glen's life.
The family is grateful for the compassionate care during Glen's three-month stay at the Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf in Barrie.
It was reassuring to know that all the staff provided such safe and exceptional care during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amy kept us connected because visitors were not allowed.
The doctors, nurses and support workers looked after his physical needs and Reverend Donna's spiritual guidance was a comfort to Glen in his final weeks.
A celebration of Glen's life will be held at Horseshoe when we are able to host the gathering he wanted.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf, the Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
