<h1>Glenn MacKinnon</h1> 1930 – 2009 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glenn Gillis MacKinnon on Monday, February 2, 2009, at Freeport Health Centre of Grand River Hospital, Kitchener, surrounded by his family and love. Survived by his wife Dorothy; daughters Vickie (Wayne) Hall, Peggy MacKinnon (Paul Brohman) and son Andy (Marg) MacKinnon; ten grandchildren; Tracey, Amy, Jenny (Todd), Michael, Cody (Heather), Becky, Lachlan, Shonnah, Logen and Moira; three great-grandchildren; Connor, Caedon and Iris. Also survived by her sister Shirley Saulnier at the family farm in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Born in Glencoe, Cape Breton on September 10, 1930, Glenn moved as an infant to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which forever after was “home”. In 1964 he moved his family to Ontario followed by the birth of son Andy. Upon his retirement, Glenn spent many happy times in Ormond Beach, Florida. Glenn was a proud member of Local 562 Sheet Metal Workers International Union. Thank you to the many wonderful nurses of the 6th floor Oncology Wing of the Grand River Hospital and a special thank you to Dr. Bouttell for her care and compassion. According to Glenn’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral. Cremation and Interment will take place at Williamsburg Cemetery, Kitchener. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Grand River Regional Cancer Centre and can be arranged through the Erb and Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King Street South, Waterloo, 519.745.8445 or www.erbgood.com. A quiet remembrance and sip of Scotch would make him smile. “No more pain Dad.” In living memory of Glenn, a donation will be made to the Trees for Learning Program by the funeral home.
