July 1,1956 – March 20, 2026
Loving and devoted wife Sharon, would like to announce the passing of her husband
Glenn on March 20, 2026, at the age of 69.
On August 13th, 1988, Glenn married his ” Soul Mate & Best Friend” Sharon. Together
with son John & granddaughter Kaile, many special memories were made.
Glenn loved spending time with his wife Sharon on trips to the States. Glenn loved
watching his football team Buffalo Bills.
Golf, fishing, & wood carving were his hobbies. Using his skills with a Husqvarna
Chainsaw, Glenn created a beautiful parkland on Gorham Mountain.
Glenn loved surveying with Bob & Ray for Cook Engineering and when there was no
work one summer, Glenn & Sharon took the job of doing the Court Yards at TBRHSC
Landscaping Project.
Then back to work at Cook Engineering, Genivar (now WSP Canada) where Primo
Scalzo encouraged Glenn to take courses to become a Senior Inspector. Glenn was
reliable; he and Derek Ritson had some interesting travel stories. Primo encouraged
Sharon to go with Glenn, where she did the traffic controls on bridge deck
investigations. Barry Robbins & Laurie Peters and some of the younger employees
made a great crew.
Glenn was predeceased by his parents Marlene & Ray Pitkanen, and parents in laws Julie & Nick Livitski.
