GLEN WALKER
Glen Derwood
Walker, born May 12, 1958, passed away on Monday, September 30, 2013 after a
brief illness at the Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 55
years.
Left to cherish
Glen’s memory are his two children, of whom he was extremely proud of, son
Morgan and daughter Shanna. He is also
survived by two sisters, Patti Pearce (Steven) and her children, Jenny
(Joseph), Andrew and Jessie, and Lori Ball (George) and her children, Jodi
(children Hayley and Carly) and Jamie (son Jackson); as well as by cousins
Wendy, Linda, Kevin, Michael and their families. He was predeceased by his
parents, George and Aihlin Walker.
Glen was born and raised in Winnipeg and
spent most of his life working in the St. James area. 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. Glen worked part time as a First Responder at the Assiniboine
Downs when his children were young. In recent years, he had taken up biking and
had even tried skydiving.
At Glen's request, no formal service is
planned.
The family wishes
to thank everyone that came to visit him during his illness and thanks the
staff at Grace Hospital for their care.
