WILLIAMS: Glen Taylor Williams, age 78, passed away on November 5, 2009 at the Assiniboine Centre in Brandon. Glen was a well known Brandon resident, known by many for his numerous ‘letters to the editor’ and as a prominent Brandon lawyer for many years. Glen received his Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from the U of M and worked briefly for Bailey Meter in the oil industry. He returned to the U of M to obtain his degree in law. In the mid 1960’s he moved to Brandon to article with Bob Clement - later working at Clement, Pearson & Williams. He was later appointed QC. He was Chairman and Trustee of the Brandon School Division for 20 years and much loved by taxpayers. He was predeceased by his wife, Polly, and the many dogs they loved - ‘Jury’, ‘Bozzy’, ‘Jigsaw’, ‘O’Brian’ and ‘Poppy’. He loved to golf and enjoyed many rounds with friends at the Shilo Golf & Curling Club. He is credited with organizing the first annual golf trip to Phoenix, Florida and Palm Springs, a tradition that carried on for more than 20 years. He loved to ‘arm chair quarterback’ NFL football in the ‘Blue Room’ (his Man Room) at his home. A special thanks to his good friend Ian Doig for his support and companionship through Glen’s brief battle with cancer. No formal funeral service will be held as per Glen’s wishes. Those choosing to memorialize Glen are asked to extend an act of kindness.
