I'm afraid I didn't hear about your loss until just recently. Sadly, for years I've been meaning to see if I could contact in. He was an insipration and a great resource for Family History and Teample Work.

He will be missed.

Dear Dorothy,

Jinny and I were very sad to learn of Glen's passing. Glen and I had many good times together, both professionally at Litton and while out hunting. He was very creative and had such a sharp mind that while I was working with him he solved many problems before most people were aware that any problems even existed.

Glen was an altogether nice person, and it is one of the regrets I expressed to him when we ran into each other at Hill AFB many years ago that we were only involved in the same small world together for such a short time.

Jinny and I send our love and best wishes to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Kent

McArthur family,
It's been long while since we lived in the Bountiful 25th Ward but wanted to let you know that our prayers with be with you and your families during this most difficult time.
It's alway so hard to loose a family member.
Camille, It's been a long time since we were in the Mueller Park Ward together. I'm not sure what it is named now. I think of you often when thinking about serving in Primary together. You were the best. It's so hard to loose a Dad. Just keep the happy thoughts with you. I know that your Dad and your Mom were such great people and examples to all of you.
With warmest thoughts,
Mary Lue Kieffer
