I cannot express how saddened we were to here of Glenns death in such a tragic manner. He was a great friend who was always there when asked with a hearty laugh. Always the life of the party at the crab feasts in Smithfield and a great partner at PMS with Nick.

I hope to get all his discarded putters when they drain the pond at Smithfield Downs. We will miss him but he will live forever in our memories.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Glenn death and I would like to express my sincere sympathy to the family. Glen was highly respected by the employees and management team at Valeo.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time and I ask you to please pass these sentiments on to his family. Glen was a remarkable man and a very good golfer. Knowing him personally as I did for many years, I am well aware of the difference he made in the lives of many people.

Many will miss him.

We will miss you and we promise to always stop and think of you whenever we are floating on the river, or watching Dale Jr cross the finish line, and on football Sundays in Butch's basement or at Jeff's house, sittn in Zali's shed having a beer or Crown n Ginger. And I know there will be many other times. Look in on us from time to time. To Danny, Danika and the rest of the family you are in our prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
