RUNNING, Glenn Edward

December 7th, 1955 - April 29th, 2024

Glenn passed away on Monday, April 29, 2024 after a short illness. He was surrounded by the love of his daughter, son, son-in-law and sister.

Glenn was a loving father to his daughter, Katherine Cutler (Travis), and son, Paul Running. He adored his grandson, Theo Cutler. He was a best friend and brother to Paddy Running-Horan. He also had a special place in his heart for his nephew, Gregory Horan. He will be sorely missed by his many cousins, friends and neighbors. Glenn was predeceased by his mother, Laura, father, Ted and his wife, Mary Beth Tunis.

A special thank you to all the wonderful staff that cared for him on the ICU ward of Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington.

Glenn lived a simple happy life. He loved his time in Acapulco and other destinations, his varied taste in Music, his sports, sudoku and his many friends over the years. Everyone who met Glenn loved Glenn. That in itself is a legacy. He was gentle, kind and compassionate. He was well-loved. Until we meet again, gentle soul.

“Gentle souls, like a butterfly
Bear the weight upon their wings.
They’re sensitive, caring
They feel the heart ache of things.
When you see them flitting, dancing
And you think they’re so carefree.
Take a look into their eyes.
You’ll see the tears of empathy.
Some take their caring as weakness
But they couldn’t be more wrong.
For strength comes in the breaking
In holding the pieces to stay strong.
It doesn’t take any effort
To simply not care
To not shoulder a burden
Or not to feel their despair.
Gentle souls, like butterflies
Bear the weight upon their wings
Though it crushes and pains their heart.
They only think of the good that it brings.”
