CLEMETT, Glenn Howell; Aug 31 1924 - May 14 2014. The Old Soldier quietly passed May 14, 2014 in Nanaimo, BC. Survived by sisters Shirley and Jane, nieces and nephews. In 1939, (at the age of 15), Glenn ran off to join the Canadian Artillery, served the duration, wounded following the D-day landing. Discharge, then enlistment in the Canadian Navy brought Korea and in 1950 also a wife. In 1951 Glenn secured employment with the VPD. A career that spanned decades, positions and further fueled the material for the nostalgia he so colourfully regaled to all who would listen. Glenn was tragically predeceased by his only son Garth in 1972 and wife Adele in 2007. Special thanks to Bonnie and Arnold for their steadfast presence in his life. He was a warm and caring person hidden beneath a rough exterior. If you can complete the following rhyme you knew him best..."Away away with fife and drum. Here we come full of Rum ........"
No "pomp & circumstance " by his request. His stories and opinions will be missed......
