Condolences from George, Ruth, and Keith Boynton. We are truly sorry for your loss. Glenn was a great man, and a great farmer.

During my first 4 years of working full time in Nobleton I had the good fortune to meet Glenn and his Family. Immediately they all felt like Family and I enjoyed years of curling with Glenn and seeing him during his visits to his Mom’s house. Glenn even took me to the Alliston Hospital during an illness and have never forgotten how lucky I was for him to do that, being a Farmer I know their time is at a premium. My condolences to all the Family, Glenn made a lasting impression on me to try and follow his example.

Condolences to the entire family, my prayers are with you all.
Glenn was such an easy guy to care about and love. His dedication to his family, work ethic and humor made him an absolute pleasure to be around. Even when things weren’t going his way, I rarly heard him complain. He always tried to make the best out of any situation, typically by making a quick but clever joke or comment. He had a sharpness about him that never faded with time. Regularly I would see a room of people pause from conversation when he spoke as if all knew what was about to be said would make them smile and laugh. I am lucky to have had him in my life and will always remember the promise I made to him. He will always be missed, but never forgotten. Glenn, may the cows in heaven be full of the richest, creamiest milk, and I will meet you someday for a glass once again.

Glenn was a kind and gentle man with a quick, dry wit and a heart-warming laugh. We will miss his presence at Nobleton United Church.

Our deepest condolences, Tom Dobson & Joan Montgomery

Sincere sympathy Velma and family. May all the great memories sustain you in the many days ahead and I know that all the hugs that come your way will also give you strength.

Had some wonderful memories with Glen on the curling rink. Always a great competitor who lived the spirit of the game. Maybe now he can get back to throwing some curling stones in heaven –

Sending love to Aunt Velma, Carol, Lois, Barb, Glenna, Ken, Wendy, & Sandy along with all of your families.
Feel comfort in the many fond memories that you will hold in your hearts forever.

From California the Angelo Bertola family sends you love and prayers. We thank you for the numerous times you hosted our children swimming and allowed them the experience of knowing what a farm is like. Your family has been very kind. Glenn will be missed and we send you all our warmest sympathies. ~ Angelo & Sandra Bertola (Merino, Serina & Caterina) and mother Nina Paolone

Glenn drove the bus I rode everyday to KCSS for five years (1970-1975) and taught me a lot about how to treat people. Glenn knew all the kids names , very seldom missed a day and was always on time; even in the winter when the driving could be challenging. Kid’s behaved on Glenn’s bus and Glenn’s chivalry ensured that boarding was orderly and the girls were always first. I often sat up front and had many terrific conversations with Glenn.

I was doubly lucky as I went to school with Barb, Glenna and Lois and they were all reflections of Glenn; good friends who always had a smile and time to have a laugh with you.

Part of Glenn lives within me and I treasure the strong memories of all his good qualities.

My condolences to the Atkinson family as well as my heartfelt thanks for being part of Glenn’s world. He made a positive difference in a lot of people’s lives.

Thanks

John

I am saddened to read of Glenn’s passing. My sympathies to Velma and family. My memories go way back to my school days at Linton. I believe Glenn and my Dad were on the school board together and came to the euchres held there. May the memories of the past soften the heartache you feel now.

Dear Atkinson Family
I was saddened to hear of the loss of Glenn and my memories stem from childhood. He was a successful dairy farmer and the best bus driver ever ! During my friendships with Lois and Barb, I always remember Glenn and Velma welcoming us to the farm. I will picture you all today paying tribute to a wonderful family man and a community minded man that will be missed.

Sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. He will be missed. My sons talked highly
of him as their bus driver to school in King City. He was always pleasant
and smiling.

The bond that has brought our families together is very special. We share many amazing memories that I will keep always in my heart. You will be always be remembered and loved.

Dear Mrs. Atkinson and Family,

I fondly remember Mr. Atkinson as the kindest, happiest, and most competent school bus driver there was. He always managed to get us kids to school and back home again every day and under any and all conditions. He was a real trooper and it was truly a pleasure to have known him.

Please accept my condolences on your loss.

Heather

Sincere condolences to Ken, Brenda, Jennifer, Heather, Bethany and all the extended Atkinson family. We know Glenn will be dearly missed.
From Laura Chancey, Alanna & Hailey Faris

Deepest sympathies. There was always a twinkle in his smile. Another example of Glen going “out of his way” occurred when Glen, as a school bus driver, variety his route to pick up our daughter Kate at the end of our driveway when she was on crutches with a broken ankle. (probably against company policy) We were curling buddies too.

To Sandy, Ed and family,
My deepest sympathy with the loss of your father. I noticed your Dad’s obituary when I had to refer to my Dad’s earlier this month and my heart sank for you. Wishing you peace at this time.
Tara Reynolds

Velma and Family,
I just found out about Glen passing, and I know that he will be missed. He always had a smile, and was such a joker.
Hugs and condolences to you all.
