My family and I are very sorry to learn that Mr. Glynn has passed away. For several years we had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks during the summer as his neighbor on the beach in Marshfield. He was always most gracious and friendly and we enjoyed talking with him and listening to his many stories. May God bless you, Mr. Glynn.
Sincerely, The McIntyre Family

We were very sorry to hear of Billie's passing. Any time I spoke to Ann, I always asked how Billie was doing because he and Maureen were always so very good to our family. I'm sure Billie is with Maureen now watcing over the wonderful Glynn family. Our heartfelt sympathy to all of the Glynns.
