<div itemprop="description">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Richard Trueman at the Red Deer Hospital just after midnight, as he predicted, on Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 31, 1950, he was the youngest son of Leonard and Wanda Trueman and grew up on a farm just outside of Edmonton and in the City of Edmonton with his brothers, Sid and Daryl and sister Myrna. <br /> <br />Glen thrived in business or work when he could connect with people and &ldquo;seal a good deal&rdquo; which made everyone feel they were winners, at least in that moment. Whether it was taking a trade-in of longhorn cattle or pigs on a new truck at his Ford Dealership in Hanna or selling a farm in northern Alberta, it was meeting and getting to know the people that mattered. Family, life-long friends, new friends and neighbours were most important to him. Glen was happiest as a host, planning get-together&rsquo;s, adventures and he always had food and drink in the house &ldquo;in case anyone drops by&rdquo;. <br /> <br />Glen&rsquo;s sense of humour made every day memorable with an occasional unexpected twist. He was thoughtful, generous, courageous, genuine and eager to learn and do one new project or plan for the next one. We know that Glen is now fishing with his Dad again, teasing his Mom or teeing up for another round of golf with his old buddies, meeting new people and &ldquo;getting things ready for when the rest of you come&rdquo;. <br /> <br />As per Glen&rsquo;s wishes, no funeral service will be held. We celebrated his life and shared stories with friends and family while he was here. Many thanks to Dr. Conradie and the medical teams on units 22 and 32, who demonstrated respect and care for Glen and Ann these past few months. Heartfelt appreciation to the family, friends and neighbours who supported us both, and a special thanks to Erica who made it possible for him to return home two years ago and live life as fully as possible, and to our Colleen who supported us with wisdom and compassion to the very end. <br /> <br />Donations in Glen&rsquo;s memory may be made directly to the charity of the donor&rsquo;s choice.</div>
