Obituary of J. Glenn Winchester

Surrounded by his family, the death of John Glenn Winchester of Quispamsis, beloved husband of the late Brenda (MacMullin) Winchester, occurred on Tuesday, December 12, 2017, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Digby, NS, on July 15, 1950, he was a son of the late Carl and Leona (Amero) Winchester. Glenn was employed with Source Atlantic for several years, retiring in 2010. He enjoyed playing hockey with the Hampton Indians, and haying on the family farm. As you started to slip between worlds, with Mom pulling your hand is one direction towards the great beyond, and everyone here selfishly pulling you back towards us, we all knew there was no force strong enough in this universe to keep you here with us and away from Mom. You held on so long and finally left us at 3pm on the 12th of December, with your sons holding your hand so tightly to help you be at peace as you left. We are so happy for you to be back with Mom, joined with her again. With the true love of this life, the love of all previous lives and the love of all your lives that are yet to be lived. May your journey to the next life be safe and filled with wonder and awe, hand in hand with Mom guiding you along the way and embracing you in love. You will be missed by so many here and you were truly loved by all who knew you. You were and are the picture of what a true man should be and what a perfect father is. We still have full lives to live, but we look forward to the day when we see you again. And we will. We love you Dad. We miss you so much already. More than you can possibly know. Glenn is survived by his sons; Derek (Olena) and Shaun (Hien) of Quispamsis, brothers; Murray (Jackie) of Pitt Meadows, BC, and Gary of Parksville, BC, sister Fay Hartlen (George) of Digby, NS, grandchildren; Nazariy, Nina, Milan, Mina, several nieces and nephews, his beloved MacMullin family centered at the family farm, and Glenn's second family, Brian and Cathy, as well as his extended neighborhood family.
