My heart felt condolences go out to the Willson family. Though I did not know Glenn well, I did live on the same street and attended many classes with him at OVCI. AND yes, I did buy my first car at OMS - a new red 1966 corvair coupe.
May you find peace and comfort through your friends and your Faith.

I just wanted to add that I always felt my bother was one of those people for whom the expression "Larger than Life" was meant for. Having Lorrie at his side for most of his life offering encouragement, kindness and love only made both of them more dynamic. I will love and miss him forever.
Carol Willson
January 21, 2012
My brother was the best big brother anyone could ever ask for. When our dad died he not only took over the car dealership, but helped me and my 3 brothers, my mom plus taking care of Lorrie and their new baby Beth. He and Lorrie had a marriage that exemplfies the true meaning of the word. Whenever I had a problem or was in a spot of trouble he always had time to listen and never once did he critize. Lorrie and Glenn are like a second set of parents to me. Oddly enough in Nov we were talking about funerals and he said with a laugh "Well when I die probably the only peole who will come to my funeral will be the family and Worbs. I am sure he is having a good laugh.

I immediately became familiar with Glenn when I arrived in Oshawa in 1978 to work at GM and play for the Oshawa Motor Carriers fastball team which he sponsored. He continued to be a respected associate in the automotive business and in his sponsorship of the GMSHL for many years. He was a valued member of our community who will be missed immensely. My condolences to the entire family.
