February 5, 1942 – January 7, 2024

In loving memory ~

We sadly announce the passing of Glenn McAuliffe on January 7, 2024, in Kamloops at the Royal Inland Hospital. Glenn was born February 5, 1942 in Kamloops, the only son of George and Mable McAuliffe.

Glenn is survived by his long-time partner, Viola; children, Ron (Deb), Heather (Pierre), Paula (Mike) and Gregg (Terisa); grandchildren, Taryn, Darci, Ryen and Kyla; great-grandchildren, Ivy and Brooke; sisters, Sharon (Eric) and Georgina; and many cousins.

Glenn lived most of his life in Kamloops and was well known in the community as a friendly letter carrier and supervisor for many years with Canada Post. Glenn enjoyed a variety of skills and interests throughout his life; he was very talented and always keen to learn something new. Glenn played hockey, fast ball, and slow pitch; he coached minor hockey; and volunteered with Kamloops Search and Rescue. Glenn was an avid outdoorsman and liked to hunt and fish the ocean, the big rivers in northern B.C. and the lakes in Saskatchewan. After he retired, Glenn was a hunting guide in the East Kootenay for several seasons. He was a passionate gardener, and he made the best dill pickles one could ever be lucky enough to taste. At one time in his life, Glenn took on bee keeping as a hobby and extracted hundreds of pounds of honey from his hives. He really enjoyed music and was an excellent dancer. Glenn loved to sing old tunes as he strummed his guitar during jam sessions. One of Glenn’s greatest strengths was his infectious humour and his fun-loving ways. He was a good friend to many, loyal and caring, and he could put people at ease very quickly. We miss Glenn’s outgoing personality, his sense of fun, and his great stories. May he rest in peace!

Glenn’s family plans to hold an outdoor celebration of his life at his home in Pritchard at a later date.
