We would like to first send heart felt condolences to the families and friends
of the other fallen and injured soldiers. We understand the difficult time you
are going through and our prayers are with you.
My husband Glen was born in Sudbury, Ont., and raised in McKerrow, Ont., where
his loving parents George and Leona reside. He bravely served his country for
14 years during which he deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina, as a member of DART
in Sri Lanka and one previous deployment to Afghanistan.
In addition to being a dedicated soldier, we will first and foremost remember
Glen as a dedicated father and a loving husband. He was loved and respected
and will be dearly missed by all of us.
In closing, during this difficult time, as we grieve the loss of a husband,
a father, a son, a brother and a friend, we respectfully request privacy.
Loving wife,
Kerry and Family
