Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGLENN DONALD WALDEMAN HERMANSON
In loving memory of Glenn Donald Waldeman Hermanson, who, at the age of 91 years, departed this world on February 17, 2024; leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Glenn passed away peacefully, having spent the last few days surrounded by family.
He was preceded by his parents Knut Hermanson and Alice Josephine (née Johnson) Hermanson, his son Grant, brother Ken and sister Delcia. Left to mourn: are his wife of 65 years, Gloria, sons Jeff and Glenn (Christa), grandsons Dallas and Quentin, granddaughters, Julia (Sam), Virginia (Ethan) and Anna (Jeppe) and three great-grandsons, Kaj, Robyn and Nohr. He is survived by his sisters Nadine, Charlene, Linnea and brother David. As well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Glenn was born on June 12,1932, in Sioux Lookout, Ontario, to parents, Alice Hermanson (née Johnson) and (Knut) Ken Hermanson. He graduated from the University of Manitoba with a B.Sc.Eng. in 1958, received his OLS in 1960, and CLS in 1981. He was married to his wife Gloria in the fall of 1958.
After private practice, Glenn became an instructor at Red River College, in the department of Civil Engineering Technology in 1964, and retired as Chairman of the college in 1989. He and Gloria moved to Vernon, BC in 1993.
Glenn was very active in sports. He curled for 62 years. He played hockey, loved to swim and sail. He was an avid golfer, even getting his first hole-in-one at age 82, at his beloved Spallumcheen Golf Club. He was also a life-long Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan. Like his father, Glenn was a skilled carpenter, built two summer vacation cabins, and enjoyed the NYT's Crossword puzzles and playing Bridge.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be directed to the Kelvin High School scholarship, known as the Grant Hermanson Art Award.
A funeral service, and celebration of life, will occur at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg, MB, at 2:00 p.m., Friday, March 1.

I have not seen the Hermanson’s for a very long time but have fond memories living next door and being friends with Glenn. My thoughts are with you and to all of the family on the loss of your father. - Posted by: Bob Coughlin (Centennial St next door neighbour ) on: Mar 04, 2024
