He was an avid golfer from a young age and travelled extensively with his family during his youth. He graduated from Silver Heights Collegiate in 1976 and went on to a career as a restaurant manager. He earned his pilot’s licence and his scuba divers card in his early twenties. Glen had managed many restaurants during his career including: The Crock and Block, Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, Fingers Restaurant, Boston Pizza (Portage Ave.) and Olive Garden.  He was a hard worker and gave 110 % to any job that he had.
