Pearl Alexander and Family -
I write to express to you and your family the sincere condolences of the Patricias on the passing of Warrant Officer (Ret'd) Glenn Alexander. I must have met Glenn as our dates of service overlapped and I also served in 2 PPCLI, but I find as I age that the old memory is out on vacation. That said, Canada and the Regiment remember Glenn's service, and you and your family should be proud of that service. His name will be read in this year’s list of the lost when we read that list out this November in the Scared Space in Beechwood, the National Military Cemetery, Ottawa. His name will also be listed in the 2020 edition of the Patrician’s Last Post section.
Thank you for obviously supporting Glenn throughout his service and later. We are glad that he had a vibrant family and, we hope, a good life after the army.
Should one of the family want to maintain a connection with the Regiment, a gratis three year Memorial Membership in the PPCLI Association is available. Contact Mr Herb Kenny, the Membership Chairman, at hkenny@shaw.ca, for details.
We hope you and your family can remember Glenn fondly as a soldier as well as a husband, father of ten, grandfather of ten! Thank you all for sharing him with the PPCLI.
Brigadier-General Vince Kennedy (Retired)
Colonel of the Regiment
Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry
