Marlene and Family: We were so sad to hear of Glenn's death. He was a terrific man. After 40+ years at Wilbert the two of you are such an identity there. All of us share great memories and stories and these are the treasures of just one side of Glenn's life. The memories of his family life, collected and remembered, will be what carries you through in the days ahead. We're sending love and strength to you. Glenn will be forever remembered. Thank you for sharing him with all of us! - The Colbert Family and all the staff at Automatic Wilbert Vault

Marlene and family, we are deeply saddened by Glenn's passing. Many nights were spent listening to Dave telling of the day's latest exploits and escapades of the shop and of Glenn. The two of them were like two peas in a pod which got Dave through many a bad day at Wilbert. We know that there is nothing we can say or do to ease your pain. We lost a daughter in 1996, to make it more painful, it was right before Christmas. We still think of her, we still cry. Please try to take comfort in your friends and family. In them is the strength you will need to get through the next few days, weeks, months, years…together and in love for each other and for Glenn.

Marlene and family, My prayers and sympathies with you during this difficult time. Glenn was a great man and my life was largely influenced by his friendship and character. His life is truly worth celebrating and remembering. I will never forget the time I was lucky enough to spend enjoying his company. Words can not express the sadness his passing brings.
