Glenn H. Crain

Glenn H. Crain passed away in hospital in Perth in the presence of his family on Wednesday, June 18th, 2008. He was the Founder of Crain & Schooley, former Mayor of the Town of Perth, a long time director and member of the Perth Industrial Development Committee and the Links O'Tay Golf Club).

He was integral in the maintenance and refurbishing of so many of Perth's heritage properties. In 1977 he acquired the property known as "Shaws of Perth." Adept at changing its wares to suit the community’s needs, Shaw’s was one of Canada’s oldest family-run retail establishments, and remains one of the country’s oldest businesses. The old Perth Post Office is often referred to as the "Crain Building". These are just two of the many buildings he preserved and updated for the benefit of our community.

He was highly respected as a man of good business and an integral part to the Perth we see today.
