I will always remember Glen made me laugh, feel comfortable around him and as a child established a connection with me where most adults couldn't. God bless his soul.

Uncle Glen was always a kid at heart. I have many fond memories of watching him pitch in the softball league many years ago at Westside Field in Wallingford with the nickname "Banana Shoes". He liked those ugly yellow baseball shoes and he pitched some exciting games.
