Glen was a few years ahead of me at VPI, but I knew him as a fellow member of the German Club. He was always a true gentleman and the complete German Club "man", a role model for all to look up to. Since moving back to this area in retirement, he always stopped to say hello to me at tailgates, and I will miss his friendly smile. May God Bless you at this difficult time.

We just found out about Glen and wanted to let "you all" know he was a great friend and fellow team mate at VT. I came from Bristol, TN. and Glen from Kingsport, TN. were we met on the football field many times but at VT he was a gentleman at all times. Try to remember the good time "you all" had together at the VT football games and other places.
Our thoughts are with you and the family!

Glen was a "class act" who contributed so very much to Double Envelope. "Statesman" and "Gentleman" would descibe him perfectly. My deepest sympathy to his family, and please take comfort in the warm thoughts directed your way.
