May 24, 1955 – April 2, 2025
at the age of 69 years:
Glenn Hill died unexpectedly in Kelowna, BC. He was born in Yorkton, SK, and was a resident of Salmon Arm since 1988. Glenn had a strong sense of community and was active with local organizations. Most notably, he was involved in minor football and hockey, Rotary, and the building of the Little Mountain Sports Complex. Glenn served as the SASCU board chair for several terms. Glenn worked as a Professional Forester for most of his career. He also had his own building inspection business, Shuswap Consulting Services.
Above all, he loved his family and friends. His grandson, Duncan, had a special place in his heart. Glenn is survived by his wife, Kirstine, daughter Caitlin Wallis (Bradley), son Richard, grandson Duncan Wallis, his siblings Bob Hill and Valerie Huffman and their families.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a local charity. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Kirstine,
We are saddened to hear about Glenn’s passing. He was a wonderful neighbour and a great community-minded leader.
Rest in peace, Glenn
Dear Kristine and family ,
We were very sorry to hear of Glenn’s sudden death.
Glenn was a slightly older cousin who I thought was pretty special when we were growing up,and his family visited us at the farm. I thought it was even more special when he and Kristine took the time to attend our wedding in Swift Current in 1978.
Our sincerest condolences to all of you.

Sincere heartfelt sympathies to my cousins family…….. Cherish the memories

We are in disbelief and saddened by Glen’s sudden passing. Our heart aches for you Kirstine and your family. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
This has come as quite a shock! Our deepest condolences Kirstin and family. He will be missed by many
I was shocked and saddened to see Glenn’s obituary in the Salmon Arm Observer this weekend. I had the great privilege of being recruited by Glenn to be one of the three coaches for the inaugural season of the Shuswap Minor Football Association. Glenn and his good friend, Garth Lord, had a vision for football in Salmon Arm, and they worked tirelessly to make it happen. This was a significant accomplishment, not only for those first players in Salmon Arm, but for countless young men over the past 20 years in our community. That privilege of being one of the first coaches extended to seeing his son, Richard, thrive in that sport. The pride that Glenn had for his son’s athletic gifts was ever present. I know that this pride extended to his entire family because he always had stories to share with me about how everyone was doing. My thoughts are with all of you as you process this huge loss. He clearly left this world too soon.
Our deepest condolences to Kirstine and family. From our first chance meeting with Glenn offering “free advice” on a trailer we were looking at, to the many happy hour times thereafter, we learned to love our many Canadian friends for their spirit of fun and giving hearts. Thank you for that, Glenn and Kirstine! Never shy to give an opinion or an adult beverage, his friendship will be missed by many. Glenn – you packed a lot of life in your years!
I am stunned and saddened to learn of Glenn’s passing. I always enjoyed chatting with him at our street gatherings.
My deepest condolences to all your family. Peace to you.

Our sincerest condolences to Kirstine & the rest of the family. We were absolutely shocked & saddened to hear the news.
Glenn kinda seemed like a bit of a gruff old guy when we first met him, LOL, but after a few Happy Hours & hikes, it was clear he was one of the good ones!! We truly will miss him…….RIP Bud
Again, our hearts go out to the family.
Sorry to hear of your loss . I really did not get to know Glenn a lot , but when I had the opportunity , he showed me that he was a real Gentleman and quite a cool guy to chat with. He will be missed , but not forgotten. Bless you and your family
We were so saddened to hear of Glen’s sudden passing. He will be missed on our special VDO street and community. We always enjoyed our little chats and visits with you two, always filled with fun and laughter. Our heartfelt sympathy to you Kirstine and your family. ❤️❤️
We have lost our planner, organizer, driver and good friend.
Those desert walks won’t be the same.
Cheers to Glenn, his wise words, lifted eyebrow and no nonsense attitude to life!
Kirstine, Caitlyn, Richard and Duncan, we are truly sorry for your loss and hope that the years of special memories heal your hearts. ❤️
We are so saddened to hear this .. Glenn, you were such a wonderful person. You will be deeply missed by all. May the memories we all have be with us forever. RIP
I am so sorry to hear this Glenn was a wonderful person
Nowhere could you find a better person to call your friend. Glenn’s sense of humor and his knowledge of so many things are what drew me to him, as a friend.
Even though he never found the love of a good Busch Light, I could still guff a nasty Coors with him. I even enjoyed his fishy tasting hors d’oeuvres because…well, I’m not sure why.
I’ll miss you coming by in AZ for visits. I’ll miss our political talks, but most of all I’ll just miss you.
You were one of a kind. We’ll take care of Kirstine from here.
Rest easy, my friend!
This is very sad news and my sincere condolences are with Kristine and all the family. I worked with Glenn for many years as he served on the Home Inspectors Association BC Board of Directors. A long time member of the association, he was both respected and appreciated. Rest in peace, Glenn.
So shocked and sad to hear of Glenn’s passing. He was a good friend and a good work mate. His love for his community, his professions, and his family and friends was prominent, and notable. He will be very much missed. Our sincere condolences to Kristine, Caitlyn, Richard, and the rest of the family. ❤️❤️
