Glen Raymond Sorensen
April 02, 1947 - July 24, 2018
Born and raised in British Columbia. Survived by his devoted wife Marilyn and beloved children Mark of Langley, B.C, Stacie Giovinazzo (George) of Guelph, ON. and Ryan Mattingly (Rebekkah Bolger) of Kitchener, ON. Loved Grandfather of Rebecca, Avery and Brooklyn Sorensen, Noah and Ava Giovinazzo and Indira Mattingly. Son of the late Ole Sorensen and survived by his mother Ethel of Prince George, B.C. Brother of Ole (Darlene) of Prince George, B.C., Linda Petrie (late Donald) of Ashburton, NZ. Predeceased in 2015 by Ralph (Maureen Kerr) of Penticton, B.C. Brother-In-Law of Myrna Earle (Bob) of Cornwall, ON. Survived by the mother of his children Lynne Field (Dave) of Langley, B.C. Educated in B.C and Outlook Saskatchewan. Glen had a career in banking in British Columbia from 1965 to 1984. In 1984 he moved his family to Ottawa, ON and joined Canada Post. In retirement Glen went to Algonquin College to be a PSW. In Glen’s younger years he enjoyed his association with the B.C. Dragoons where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and participated with various Regiments in B.C. Glen had great love for the outdoors, canoeing, camping, hiking and bike riding. In 2000 Glen and Marilyn moved to Lanark County and enjoyed country living at its best. In 2011 they moved to Ingleside, ON and took pleasure in the wonderful bike trails along the St. Lawerance. Glen was a devoted member of the Newington Wesleyan Church, serving in many capacities. He was a very gentle, caring and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. His deep faith in his Lord sustained him over his two year battle with cancer. Thanks to Pastor Krista Shaver and Pastor Dave Naylor for their love, support and encouragement and prayers over the past two years. On May 18, 2018 Glen and Marilyn took up residence in Tillsonburg to be closer to Stacie and Ryan and their families. Thanks to Pastor Paul Robinson for his friendship to Glen, his many visits in the hospital, home and in hospice. His love and prayers are so appreciated. Friends and relatives will be received by Glen’s family at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Tillsonburg on Monday, July 30, 2018 from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. The Memorial Service will follow at 2:30 p.m. and will be officiated by Pastor Krista Shaver and Pastor Paul Robinson.

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
