I went to high school with Glenn in Caldwell. After high school, my recollection was only that Glenn moved to Austin and I did not see him for years. Then they began having reunions in Caldwell and on occasion I would see him. Every time he would warmly engage me as if we had just seen one another the day before. This is how I will remember him as a warm, kind person that most people should strive to be like. May God bless and keep Glenn's family and give them peace and comfort during this time.

I remember Glenn and Jo as great next-door neighbors, patiently putting up with my soccer-obsessed boys kicking balls against their fence in the 1970s and 1980s. But most of all, I remember the love that Glenn had for Jo and the happiness that seemed to shimmer from their faces when they looked at each other. Jo, I know that Glenn's love will not go away, just because his physical body is gone and that his love will be a comfort to you. I will remember Glenn, you and your family in my prayers.

I have wonderful loving memories of fun times spent together with my Seibert cousins in Deanville, particularly at Christmas time. But it was not until later in life that I feel we really became friends, and whenever I came to Austin it was lovely to talk and visit with Glenn and Jo, talk about old times, and make new memories that I will always cherish. I always knew that Glenn was there to help however he could. Sending much love to all the family.

Donna joins me in sending our love and prayers for all of Glenn's family. Josephine, we have been keeping up with all the health events these past months by talking with JoAnn and Rose. Glenn and you have known me all my life and Donna for the past 44 years and it is always a pleasure to see y'all and have a short visit. When Mom and Dad (Emil & Rosie) married in 1936, Glenn's mother was teaching school at Frenstat. She and Mom were friends and since the wedding was on Tuesday, Annie Gussie brought all of her students to the wedding. Dad said that they had the biggest wedding because of this. And, when Donna and I moved into our home in July of 1976, Mr. and Mrs. Seibert came to see us and told us of their upcoming trip, the one that they didn't complete. We will always remember their wonderful visit to our home. Our prayers continue for all of you

I think the legacy of any person could be summed up by leaving this world a better place during the time we are blessed to be here.Glenn did this in a large way. The children that Jo and he brought in this world and raised are living proof of what they did together. He loved his family and took every opportunity to brag on them. He gave so much more to me than i can ever re-pay. However we can take the many different things he did teach us and try to make a difference based on his example.I have never met anybody that did not rave on about what a fantastic person he was. The love that he showed with Jo and his children could not be hidden. I personally know we have lost somebody that cannot be replaced, however Jo and he have such a great family to carry on his example I.Am very sorry he is no longer with us and there is a piece of my heart that can never be filled. The current pain however in no way reflective of the way i will always remeber this GREAT MAN. I can only hope that I will be as great as a husband and father that he was. His footprints he made while he was here can never be filled however his teaching can live eternally. Paula and Fred Trudeau

My next door neighbor for over 26 years, Glenn was the BEST!! Everything about him, he was so helpful, thoughtful, considerate and on and on. But the thing I'll miss most is the wonderful talks he and I would have outside in our front yards:)! A true gentleman and a wonderful husband (to one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known in Jo) father, grandfather and friend. I'll miss you my friend. God Bless to all the Seiberts and know that Glenn is up there with the Lord resting comfortably and probably trying to help out in any way that he can!

In loving memory of great man! Glenn was a very special person. I worked with him for many years at Leif Johnson, I guess you could say he watched me grow up around there. I will never forget our Tues night Sonic burger dinners with Glenn and Jo when I was joining the Catholic church and Jo was my sponsor.
Jo and your family you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time and in the days to come. Glenn will be missed by so many.
