Tributes
Leave a tributeWell we met over 20 years ago and I became your neighbour and then your worker and more importantly your friend. I spent hours in the shearing shed trying to press wool when our antiques were playing up. I dealt with prolapse and lambs. My love for animals was installed in me. I took the lambs when mum had passed and this was new to you. My 30 year old daughter still asks each year about orphan lambs for my grandchildren to experience. We loved them to health and back to farm. Lol. Sooo many yuulong stories. And by the way I swear 60% of the fence droppers at wombalano I did Love to all x. I could write a thousand stories of Glenn and the girls ie ewes At yuulong

Farewell Glenn, my dear friend. You were one in a billion. I'm so much richer for having met you over 30 years ago and I'm privileged to have been counted as a friend. Until we meet again

Dear cousin you will be so missed by so many. Your wide circle included family, friends and beloved animals. You are very loved.
I'll miss our regular conversations and just knowing that you are there on the farm or in the city, ready to have a chat.
I'll miss your visits to Bellingen and just hanging out in the garden or partying with my friends.
I'm so glad that I got to spend time with you and wonderful Fauzy and that cheeky Ollie just a few weeks ago. That is so special for me. Even then you were still planning trips. Love you heaps.

Glenn, you were a true lover of nature and in life, you lived the dream. Working in Parks and enjoying life on your farm. I will always remember how proud you were when you built your home on your piece of paradise at Yuulong. An accomplished horseman, farmer and party animal you managed to live life to its fullest. Many fun times spent working together and sadly missed. Your legacy of revegetating parts of the Otway NP will live on forever.

Goodbye dear Glenn, after 41 years of friendship. You changed my life and made it infinitely richer. I am forever in your debt and will miss you terribly.

I'm sorry I wont be able to make it to your funeral Glenn. Long will I remember our times together working in the Otways, the parties at Yuulong, the camping trip to North West Island and the work you did on the Major Mitchell Trail. Those trail signs that mark his exploits will always trigger memories of you and the legacy you left for all Victorians to appreciate. Farewell good friend

Glenn was a good friend. He often visited us in Maldon and of course with his dog Ollie. Two years ago, he came with us to Greece, on the island of Chios. He was on his way to sort out his ancestors in Ireland. We learned to know him better during this time. The locals in Chios who saw him daily told us that they remembered his smile and his quiet and friendly personality. They will also miss him.

I only had the privilege of meeting Glenn a few months ago, but from our very first conversation, it was clear he was an exceptional person, someone who deeply loved his family and friends.
In the short time we worked together, Glenn showed me what true strength looks like. Even while facing unimaginable challenges, he remained kind, calm, and positive. His resilience and solid character left a lasting impression on me.
Glenn was the kind of man we should all aspire to be more like. I’m grateful for the time we shared, and I’ll carry his example with me always.

Oh Glenn, you were one of a kind! You lived a thousand lives, sharing your zest for life with so many. We remember outrageous parties at Yulong, quiet cups of tea and crazy adventures in the wilderness. We are so sad not to be there celebrating you and your life so well lived. In memory of you, we will create a wreathe from flowers in our garden, which you so loved, and release them of into the ocean off Lembongan. We will miss your positivity and beautiful smiling face Glenn, Anne-Maree & Harry
