Obituary of Glenn Munroe SPENCER

August 23, 1950 – Carnduff, Saskatchewan March 9, 2018 – Calgary, Alberta Glenn Munroe Spencer passed away peacefully at Rockyview General Hospital, Calgary, on Friday, March 9, 2018 at the age of 67 years. Glenn was born August 23, 1950 to proud parents, Charles and Norma in Carnduff, SK. He graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science (in Mathematics) and a Bachelor of Commerce (in Computer Science). During his adult life, his many pastimes and hobbies included his love for fishing off the west coast of Vancouver Island with his best friend Brent, playing drums for a band, hockey, squash, tennis, and skiing. A big part of his life involved him being a Schuhplattler as part of a dance team with the Austrian Club. This activity took Glenn and his first wife, Carol to Austria on several occasions to perform. Glenn worked for many years as a computer programmer and analyst and in later years, he and his wife Glenna ran a wedding and special events videography and photography business. Most recently, Glenn loved spending time with family and friends, listening to his favorite music, and going for long walks or bike rides. His biggest thrill was having a visit with his grandkids and watching them learn how to ride Tango…. his wife’s best friend! Glenn will be remembered for his quiet strength, great sense of humour, and kind ways, among many other things. Glenn will be lovingly remembered by his wife Glenna; his daughter Kirsten; step-daughter Jaemi and her husband Sean, and their children, Koen and Kenzie; and step-son Jaeson. He is also survived by his sister and brother-in-law Beverly and Ric, of Regina, SK; his brother and sister-in-law, John and Nancy Noyce, of Nanton, AB; his two aunts, Kelly and Joan; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
