• I met Glen in Thompson when I was a barber in Thompson in 1970 at the Strand Barber shop owned and operated by Bill Bucholz. Bill and Glen were also friends. In 1972 I was hired at Safeway as a Food Clerk working the midnight shifts floating to various stores in the north district. I ended up on a midnight shift at the Ness & Sturgeon store 6 months into my job/career at Safeway. With Glen's influence with the District Manager Bill Vivian, he managed to get me off the midnight shifts unto day shifts as his full time Day Shift Food Clerk. Eventually he started training me in various departments with my mentors Keith McDougall, Bob McWilliams and Wayne Perkins. Mr. Shaw went on to become District Manager of the North District eventually promoting me into senior management. The rest is history. He was a great Mentor, store Manager, District Manager and human being. Without his quality mentoring and belief in me I would have never gotten to where I am today without Mr. Shaw's wisdom, insight and God's given gift of discernment. He will always be remembered as my personal mentor and lifelong friend. He even gave me a nickname and would say it to me occasionally. "The big Okamow" meaning "The big Indian/Whiteman". On behalf of my wife, Thelma and I, we offer our sincere condolences and prayers to Alice and the entire family. Till we meet him again; God's blessings and comfort to the Shaw family going forward.

• Although I (Ken) have known Glen for many years as fellow members at Breezy Bend it is during the past three years we became friends. I am glad I had this opportunity because I got to know a fun loving kind gentleman. Our sincere condolences to Alice and family. So sorry we were unable to be at the memorial service as we were away. You will be missed Glen. - Posted by: Ken and Barb Sjoberg (Friend) on: Oct 25, 2022

• To the Shaw family, my deepest condolences on your loss. I had the privilege of working with Glen when he was my north district manager at Canada Safeway. He was a caring individual, who offered me understanding and support when I started in store 584. Later when I transferred into the Human Resources office his wisdom and guidance was still offered. His integrity, kindness and professionalism was always evident. May he Rest In Peace. - Posted by: Jack Wallace (Co worker) on: Oct 25, 2022

• During the teen years that Doug and I became best friends for life, being in their home was like having a second set of parents and a second home with Glen and Alice. So many fond memories those years that started simply from a family connection and an "in" for a well-paying first job at Safeway that kept giving back to me through my adult life. I've been greatly blessed to have had Glen and all his family in my life. He made a difference, he will be missed, and he will live on in my thoughts and in my heart. - Posted by: Lorry Prokopich (Friend) on: Oct 25, 2022

• Mr. Shaw was a wonderful man that I met in my very early years in Thompson. Diane and I formed a fast friendship in Grade 3 and our parents also became lifelong friends. One of my special memories was at a sleepover at the Shaw's when Mr. Shaw brought a treat home that Safeway had just started carrying. He allowed me, as the guest at their home, to be the first Thompsonite to try "Bugles"!! The Shaw's moved back to Wpg. although he continued to make treks up north to go hunting for many years with my dad and the gang. Not sure how many animals suffered as a result, but I know the men always had a great time. Mr. Shaw was special enough that I asked him to give the toast to the bride at my wedding....and was he ever entertaining!! He also visited my father on his last day on this earth which was so meaningful to both my dad and our family. I want to offer my deepest condolences to the whole family and would like you to know that you are all in my prayers at this time of loss. May his soul Rest in Peace.
