Nicholas Glowa

September 23, 1928 - October 15, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Nicholas Glowa, at Banwell Gardens on October 15, 2020, at the age of 92. Survived by his loving wife, Rita with whom he shared 50 years of marriage. Nicholas better known as Uncle Nick, is survived by many nieces and nephews, and predeceased by siblings Sophie Idzinski, William (Bill) Glowa, and Olga Cudmore. Nick worked most of his life on the family farm and took pride in continuing his parents labours in crop and cattle farming. Later Nick was employed by Chrysler Canada for over 20 years, until his retirement. Nick was best known for his kindness, humility, and generously devoted much of his free time in helping others through various organizations such as the Knight’s of Columbus and Alhambra. At the age of 60, he enjoyed the challenge of learning computer technology where he taught himself to dabble in the world of investments. Nick was a devoted, long time member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Woodslee and Holy Name Catholic Church in Essex. Although Nick spent most of his time working the farm, in his leisure time, Nick loved to play card games with his lovely wife, friends and family, playing Euchre, Bridge and Pepper. We would like to acknowledge and thank the incredible staff at Banwell Gardens for their loving treatment and care during his years there as a resident.
