To the Walden families,

Sending our thoughts & condolences on the passing of your husband, father & grandfather.  We always appreciated the advice and kind gentleman words from Glen as the Bruce County Holstein cattle rep. He had a keen eye for dairy cattle and helped us with our herd dispersal many years ago. We always welcomed his visits to our farm. Cherish his memories and times you spent together.

Sincerely,

Jim & Donna Fischer, Walkerton

I would like to share my sympathy with Glen's family and friends during this difficult time.  I am very sorry for your loss.  I first met Glen at the Bruce County Holstein Shows in Walkerton, and later we crossed paths at the Ontario Miss Midwest Pageant in Walkerton.   Glen was always so pleasant to speak with, he seemed so interested and supportive of youth, and always had a friendly smile on his face.   There is no doubt, he will be missed.
