Deeply saddened to hear of Glynn's passing. I worked with Glynn at Dam Neck while on exchange service with the US Navy. A true professional and a gentleman of the highest order. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

I will deeply miss my friend Glynn. He was so much fun to work with during our long relationship working at Dam Neck. Glynn never had a cross word for anyone. He was the best of the best and exemplified what we all tried to be. He was a true gentleman in every aspect of the word. Goodbye my friend.

Fawn and girls, it was a pleasure and honor to have been friend, colleague and brother in Christ to Glynn. He was a person that had no enemies, only friends. His smile and friendly attitude was infectious. I'll always remember him for these reasons. Truly he'll be missed by many, but he now is resting peacefully forever in the arms of his Maker, and will join us all again one day. Our sincerest condolences are for you all. In Him, Joe & Nancy Carrier
