Glen has always been proud of the at the professional achievements of his children and the accomplishments of his grandaughters. He was never shy in sharing this. His family was very important to him and he treasured his bond with his brothers immensely. He displayed a humourous pride when people would approach him and ask , "which brother are you?"

He was one of seven brothers and is survived by Jim (Marilyn), Jack (Audrey) Norman, Ivan, Franklin (Shirley), and Danny {Dusty). He is also survived by his cousin Penny Archibald and his close friends Allan Archibald, Kay Daines and Tom Towers. Glen was born and raised in Innisfail, Alberta. He attended the University of Alberta and received his degree in Commerce. He worked for IBM Canada in Alberta and BC before establishing Daines Western Shops with his brothers Ivan and Franklin.

Glen leaves behind many strong friendships from his love of the western way at life.
