Glen Robert Hill

April 25, 1956 - February 5, 2024

We are deeply saddened to let our friends and family know that suddenly on February 5th, Glen passed away. Predeceased by our mom and dad Jack and Eva Hill, sister Barb, brother Russell, niece Hannah. Survived by his wife Mercy, sister Dolores Craig, brothers Bill Cindy, Doug Keri, Dennis Janet, and Ron. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews who were truly dear to his heart & him to theirs.

Glen grew up in Charleswood & touched the lives of many people who still to this day tell stories of when he was their paper boy, or tales from Charlie’s garage & his bar tending days at the Legion. Always a friendly Hello or a “What’s new Alice” Several years ago Glen moved to Sioux Lookout Ontario where he met & married his amazing wife, Mercy. His life was filled with hard work & happiness. Their door was opened to many folks that needed a safe & place to live, right to the end Glen was there to help those in need. He was a kind & gentle soul who we were honored to have as a husband, brother & friend.

Mercys homeland is the Philippines & Glen looked forward to spending time with family & friends when they were able to visit. Here are some kind words from his family in the Philippines. Papa Glen has been so generous to our family in the Philippines. It had been their vacation that we most awaited every 4 years. We were always excited & ecstatic to show Papa Glen our culture & to let him experience it. We’re happy seeing him happy. He has the most sympathetic heart: “ibang lahi, pusong Pinoy” is what they said. He & Mama Inday helped me throughout college, I graduated & topped my board exams thanks to them. He treated my siblings & I like his own, we too loved him like our own. We are forever grateful to have known & loved by him He will always be part of our lives & will be remembered our beloved Papa Glen.

Our families would like to thank the Medical Team in Sioux Lookout for providing the best possible care during this difficult situation. Thank you to our Family & friends for their unwavering support during this terribly sad time.
