Glenn, Robert (Bob) age 81 formally of Goderich, passed away peacefully with family at his bedside on Oct 28th at Mount Nemo Christian Nursing Home.
Bob was born on September 14, 1941, the son of Goldwin and Beryl Glenn of Exeter. Older brother to sister’s Marion Simpson and Barb Thomson and predeceased by brother Bill.
Bob is also predeceased by wife Louise, who together during their 49 years of marriage were very proud of their 2 daughters, Michelle Smith (Glenn) married to Steve, and Krista Kuehnbaum (Glenn), along with his four grandchildren, Caleb & Madison Smith, and Hana & Makaela Kuehnbaum, also including many loving members of the Glenn family.
Bob worked as a welder at Champion and then as it became Volvo for over 30 years before retirement. He was an active member of the Odd Fellows Lodge club, enjoyed golf, a good game of cards, travelling and camping. He especially enjoyed many fireside chats with friends when part of the Shelter Valley community. He was also part of the retiree club from Volvo, loved a good puzzle or fixing anything. Most of all, he loved spending time with family and being a Grandpa.
Throughout his life he will be remembered as a kind man, eager to lend help to anyone in need, his warm laugh, and his social nature to talk to anyone as a friend.
Arrangements have been entrusted to McCallum & Palla Funeral Home in Goderich. There will be a graveside service Nov 1st at 1pm at Maitland Cemetery followed by a gathering.
The family would like to offer a very special thank you for their compassionate care at Mount Nemo Nursing Home these last few months and formerly the care and community he received at Goderich Place.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Lung Association.
Bob was one of a kind and will always be in our hearts

Michelle, Krista & all Bob’s family & friends;
We are saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Such a kind man. My family is related to Louise (& Bev) through the Thiel family. Louise and Bob together, introduced Julie to me and attended our wedding Nov. 8, 2008. We are about to celebrate 14 happy years of marriage thanks to that introduction.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Henry and I are sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We will remember the times we shared with him and Louise in Lemon Bay Isles, Florida in the times they spent there. We send our condolences to your family.
Ralph and Smith
We were sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. We had known Bob and Louise through St. George’s Anglican Church and then again when they moved to Goderich Place. (Ralph of course, remembers having Michelle and Krista at school where he was their Principal). We missed Bob’s daily greeting of “How are you doing?” when he moved to Burlington. Our condolences to his family. Ralph and Eleanor Smith

So sorry to read of Bobs passing! What a guy!!! I volunteered at Goderich Place and Bob and I had many great “banters” while he was there. He was a very social person and always tried to get one joke ahead so I had to try my best to have one more than him. He joined in on everything and one of the funniest times we ever had was when we had a magician/comedian who called up residents to be part of the show. Bob and Gerry were called up and I am sure the fellow wished he hadn’t! It was a twoman show for almost 1/2 hour and the most hilarious ever!!!! I can well imagine he is the center of conversation in heaven and happy to be back with Louise!!! Keep them laughing Bob!!!!!
