Glaser, Wolfgang Stephen

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Wolfgang (Wolfie) Glaser. Loving Father of Serena Bourns (Colin) and Alisha Rullo (Mark). Proud Grandpa to Evan, Claire, Eliana, Kayla and Kiara. Brother to Larry, the late Gary Glaser and uncle to Allison. Wolfie will be dearly missed by his friend Cathy Craig, as well as patrons and staff at Teddy’s and Rikochez.

 

Wolfie immigrated here from Germany at a young age. He grew up in East Hamilton just minutes away from Ivor Wynne. It is there that his love for the Ticats was born. His teenage years were full of adventure and questionable decisions which included hitchhiking trips to BC, living in Toronto at the infamous Rochdale College and owning a pet monkey and a rooster that called a phone booth his home.

 

By his mid 20’s he settled down to start his family and build his dream home, a log cabin nestled on the side of the Niagara Escarpment. His home was a labour of love and one of his life’s finest accomplishments. Wolfie demonstrated his passion to ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ through his years of work in the waste management industry, his time spent volunteering at the GBF and his booth at the Beamsville flea market. Although his years were cut short we will forever cherish our memories of Ticat games, fishing charters and special drinks at Rikochez.

 

We would like to thank the Niagara Regional Police for their amazing work as well as countless family and friends, not to mention the incredible community in Grimsby. Your love and support in locating Wolf over those 19 days of uncertainty will forever be remembered. Thank you.

Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Gathering will be held at STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, 11 Mountain Street, Grimsby, 905-945-2755. Please check the website for date and time.
