Not having been involved in the business for several years, I was shocked at Glenn's passing. He will be remembered by all as a knowledgeable,kind and caring person. May God Bless him on his next mission and also to his family!

Dear Ms. Whidden:

I am shocked to learn of your loss. My late husband, Norman, and Glenn were business associates. Your husband was a true leader, both in business and in his Christian life. There is no way that Glenn's loss can be lessened for you but you can take comfort in the fact that many of this friend's and business associates world wide have been mourning his passing.

I first met Glenn in 1965 when I EOD'd at the old West Out Building. Glenn went the extra mile to make me feel at ease at a crucial time when it was hard to do. Although I had not seen him in years , we did occasionally e-mail. My condolences to his family . Alohamac

Glenn was a true professional who talked the talk and walked the walk in the real world especially during the heights of the former Cold War. This was only bypassed by his true humanity which I will always be grateful to say that I knew personally.

IMrs. Whidden and family, met Glenn a few years after I retired from the Air Force. We recognized each other as dinosaurs but felt we could make a difference in our chosen fields of endeavor. Glenn knew how to make it happen and then did it. He was a true gentleman and was revered and liked by all who came to know him. We can never miss him as much as you will but he will always be in our hearts and minds.

A true believer of his craft. He gave his everything to all, for little in return. Glenn will be sorely missed and eternally remembered for his selfless contributions. I have lost a friend, mentor and motivator, as have we all. Rest in peace, my friend. My thoughts are with your family.

The essence Glenn is not gone. He left some of himself within everyone he knew.

All of us were influenced by one or more of his exceptional qualities: his kindness, generosity, knowledge, ethics, friendship, loyalty, inquisitiveness, patriotism, spirituality, love of invention, and his dedication to do good and make a positive difference in this world (to name a few).

I know I am a much better human being for knowing Glenn. If you knew Glenn, I am sure you feel the same way.

Glenn is now within all the lives he touched, and we will pass his goodness along, as he did for us.

Thank you, Glenn, for the big difference you made in my life, and the lives of so many others.

Just found out about his death, I am in disbelief. I never met him but was in touch by e-mail for my wanting to become a member of ERI. I feel like I've lost a friend and yet never met him.
My condolences to his entire family. May God Bless You. He has plans for you.
