It is with heavy hearts that we report TRAF’s former Secretary-Treasurer, Glen Buhr, passed away on July 18, 2026 at the age of 92.
Glen began his career at TRAF in 1963 when he became the organization’s second Secretary-Treasurer, following Jim Millard’s retirement. Glen was the 29th employee since the inception of the pension plan 38 years earlier. When he started working at TRAF, there was a staff of three focused on pension administration.
Glen held his Chartered Accountant designation and had previously been employed by the Comptroller-General since he was 16 years old, where he had worked on many audits including TRAF. Under his leadership, TRAF expanded its investment program and entered the world of information technology. Glen led TRAF until he retired in 1988.
We were fortunate to include Glen in TRAF’s 100th anniversary celebrations last year, including featuring him in the Century Report and welcoming him to our Open House, Reunion and Book Launch. He also made an appearance in our anniversary video, sharing some of his experiences from his TRAF career. We appreciated his time and generosity in meeting with us.
We extend our deepest condolences to Glen’s family and friends.
