Condolences & Tributes

We encourage you to share any memorable photos or stories about Glenn. All tributes placed on and purchased through this memorial website will remain on in perpetuity for future generations.

Glenn will be missed very much. He had a great love of nature and it's small creatures. He was always happy to teach what he knew. I learnt a lot from him. The day after he passed a beautiful Giant Swallowtail came to my garden. It made me think of Glenn and I felt that he was that butterfly. I will think of him often and he won't be forgotten.
My condolences to all family members and friends.

Glenn quiet demeanor and willingness to help anyone who asked of him, will not be forgotten. He made a quiet mark on this earth, and will be remembered as a great quy.

Glenn was a very humble man even though he had lots of technical knowledge about websites and his excellent work on documenting butterflies in Ontario. Over the years The Toronto-Calcutta Foundation (TCF), a charity, got lots of help from him for its website. TCF membership will remember this and will deeply miss him. TCF hopes that his soul rests in peace.

Glenn was the web guru for me and my husband Professor John Furedy for over twenty years, and he became a valued friend.
We appreciated his sharp intelligence and careful web work.
He set up our web pages and updated them and often advised on computer problems. When John died in 2016, Glenn set up a Wikipedia entry for him; it was a work in progress, slowed by Glenn’s increasing illness. That Glenn did this even as his health deteriorated meant a great deal to me.

Glenn had an acute political sense and we appreciated his comments on current affairs. He spoke strongly on freedom of speech and honesty in politics. We enjoyed his sense of humour.

From him, I learnt about Ontario’s butterflies. He was a skilled photographer. He loved cats and remembered his very first cat, Missy.

Glenn was sometimes misunderstood in workplaces because he did not ‘conform’ to politically ‘correct’ strictures, but he was a gentle, kind, well-meaning person, who frankly said what he meant without fear. Our society needs more people like Glenn Richardson. I will miss him greatly.

Dr Christine Furedy, D. Phil.

Our sincerest condolences to your family. Glenn was so good to his Mother, the kindest guy who wouldn't hurt a fly or especially a butterfly. Lots of many childhood memories from when we were young are in our thoughts.
