Beloved husband of Sylvie Lauzon. Proud father of Newton (Sharon) and Scott. Much loved by sister Sally (Gil Stelter). Glen was predeceased by his sister Pamela (1948), father James Newton (1981) and mother Hazel (2008).
Glen was a proud Canadian and devoted his life to public service. He joined the foreign service in 1962, with which he had many adventures around the world with his first wife, Sylvia, and his children. In his later career he served as Deputy Minister of Transport Canada and in various capacities at the Privy Council Office, culminating as Clerk of the Privy Council from July 1, 1992 to March 27, 1994. He was proud to have served three Prime Ministers in this capacity.
After retiring from the federal civil service, Glen co-founded Sussex Circle, a company that provides strategic advice to private and public sector organizations. As Special Advisor to the Government of Ontario he prepared a report which led to the creation of an amalgamated City of Ottawa. From 2001 to 2004, he served as the Chair of Hydro Ottawa.
Glen always considered public service to be of the highest calling and he was proud of the contributions he made to the people of Canada, the public service and the Prime Ministers he served.
He was a great man and will be sorely missed by his friends and family.
There will be a private service at a later date. Condolences in care of Racine Robert & Gauthier Funeral Home in Ottawa. If desired, donations in lieu of flowers would be appreciated to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of your choice.
We were intrigued by the "sudden death by an unexpected heart attack" of Glenn Shortliffe.
ReplyDeleteThis marks the 12 th insider to die, suddenly, or suddenly develop a terminal disease and die shortly afterwards, in the past four years and who could have been a very useful witness in Canada's Biggest Scandal - The Water War Crimes"
This is a statistically impossible co-incidence and murder is suspected in at least some of the sudden deaths because all 12 insiders were in a position to expose major corruption in Ottawa and Victoria.
We do not wish to be dis-resprectful of the dead but Glenn Shortliffe was in a position to blow the whistle when he suddenly died.
There is a lawsuit in Canada's Federal Court about many of these these issues and the case is totally unreported in the press. Federal Court Action T-95-08.
