It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Glenn Wilson Lamb on December 7th 2024 at age 83 at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich.
He was born in Burnt River on March 17th in 1941 to James and Mabel Lamb, and grew up in Victoria County among many friends and family. Glenn went to S.S.#8 Somerville Township School in Burnt River before going to work in Fenlon Falls at the Bank of Montreal. From moving with the bank to his long tenure with the Huron County Board of Education (now Avon Maitland), he worked throughout his life to support his family and contribute meaningfully to his community.
Beloved husband for 57 years of Shirley Ann (Zurbrigg). Loving father to Lori Jane (Jay) Kirkpatrick and predeceased by son Bryan James (1975 – 1994). Dear Poppa to Meghan Jane and Kimberley Anne. Fondly remembered by brother in-law Peter Morgan, in-laws Thelma Bode, Kendra Zurbrigg, Lyle (Jennifer) Zurbrigg and many special nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by brother Ron and sisters Joyce (Townsend) and Beverley (Morgan), in-laws Bill Townsend, Iris Lamb, Don Bode, Ken and Joan Zurbrigg.
Glenn will be sadly missed by friends and family who will remember his love of sharing time together, playing cards, cribbage, bowling, and golfing or just visiting to catch up on old times and new adventures.
A Celebration of Glenn’s life will be held on Friday December 20th at 12 pm with visitation the hour prior starting at 11 am at the McCallum & Palla Funeral Home. Reception to follow at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 109.

My sincerest condolences to Shirley and the Lamb family. My mother worked for years with Glenn at the
Board of Education and was part of the carpool that drove from Goderich to Clinton every work day. He always remained a friend to her and she enjoyed his visits.

Dear Shirley & family – I was saddened to read that Glenn had passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences. Glenn was my supervisor at the AV Board office for a few months while I was working a fill-in position back in the early 90’s, and Glenn was wonderful to work with. I loved his quiet sense of humour. May he now rest in peace.
