Glen Hammond

It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Glen Hammond on August 25, 2020.

He will be greatly missed by his wife of 34 years Dana and his son Thomas.

Loving son of June and the late Morley Hammond, brother of Don (Brenda) Sturgeon and the late Susan (Doug) Erwin. He leaves behind several cousins, nieces, nephews, and great friends.

He was a dedicated employee of the Toronto District School Board for over 35 years, beginning as a part-time caretaker and working his way to his final position as head caretaker of Downsview Public School. He took a lot of pride in his work and always treated the schools that he was at as though they were his home.

He was able to have five years of retirement to enjoy the things that he loved, such as working in his garden, painting, nature and listening to all kinds of music. He had a laugh that was infectious and always made you laugh along with him.

Glen was always thinking of ways to make things better for the next generation of children and would be saddened to know that any child was suffering. In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be made to the Sick Kids Foundation in Glen’s name.
