It was great singing with Glen all these years, with the Symphony and MOBAP. He was a wonderful guy - miss him already.

I can't believe I've lost my puzzle buddy. I have a hard time going past the house and not seeing him outside. He will be missed by all. Please know that Bill and I are there and don't hesitate to call us. Bill & Debbie Midgley

glenn was always nice to me. i still remember to this day how he would give us our paychecks individually, shake our hands and say thank you every friday. such only deepened our desire to do right by the guy. plus he sold me my first real car: a green ford fairmont at a great price! a true gentleman.

Dear Valdeen, I was so sad to hear about Glenn. He really was such a warm and great person. I enjoyed working with him at 3D and hearing all about his singing. May God bless you and your family.

Dearest Valdeen, I worked with Glenn at 3D Distributing and thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a pleasure to work with.

Dear Valdeen, Paul and Family, it is with great sadness that I hear of Glenn. I worked with Glenn for years at 3-D. Those are good memories. He was also the volunteer in the waiting room years back when my dad had surgery. All memories are fond one. He and his wonderful voice will be missed by one and all.
May God comfort you and heal your broken hearts. Sandy Tutinoi

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Glenn's passing. He was like a brother to me and to many in his beloved SLSC. It was a loss when he retired from the chorus, but this was entirely unexpected, as I saw him at the open rehearsal for "Messiah", and he looked as good as ever. What a blessing that was in retrospect. We had no idea our hug was a "goodbye" hug. We never know when "last things" occur. The Heavenly Choir will be a little stronger now with Glenn adding his voice and incredible spirit. Save me a seat, Glenn!
Valdeen, my God's grace and peace comfort you as you reflect on so many wonderful memories!

January 16, 2013

We will miss Glenn immensely. He was a dear friend; a talented man with many interests and accomplishments. But, most of all, he was a special friend who shared his life with us for over 35 years. You will be in our hearts always, Glenn. With love, Fred and Gaye Absher
