He spent his years working hard in the oilfield throughout Alberta, working on the rigs, scouting, gravel truck and picker and crane trucks. Glen's passion for cooking inspired him to buy a restaurant in rocky, 300 Spartans and after he went back trucking and part owner with his brother Don. They had Long's trucking and picker service. Later he worked for Lonkar out of Red Deer.
Glen will be remembered for his passion of camping, exploring the west country and anywhere else he adventured. His love for camping, fishing, hunting, boating and
quadding especially with friends and family. He loved showing and teaching his grandkids his passions and taking them on outings and adventures. His stories and jokes around the campfire will be missed. He loved cooking for everyone and always lending a hand.
Glen and his late wife Lorna enjoyed the winters in Congress, Arizona. He kept busy with the church and enjoyed helping with charity BBQs. He loved exploring the desert. Meeting new people and amazing friends there.
