Jo-Anne and family,
Although I have not seen Glenn since he graduated from Lehigh in 1971, I always considered him a friend as we knew each other well from St Timothy's, Boy Scouts, and our times at Raub, Allen, and Lehigh. I had tried to contact you both a few years back with no success, and I am sorry that I never did get through. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I don’t know exactly when we met but it had to be prior to heading off to kindergarten. From that date on until we left for college, we played cards, threw baseballs, camped, went to Phillies games and walked back and forth to school. He was a good friend.
We met again a few years ago with our wives and got caught up on thirty plus years of living. He was the same guy – smart, soft-spoken and even-tempered. Time and distance prevented subsequent reunions but I cherish that memory and those from our youth.
Jo-Anne, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I knew Glenn when we were grade school friends, He lived on Elm Court, I lived on College Drive. I remember the good times when we were kids playing together and the times playing with his American Flyer Train Set and my Lionel train set and the time we spent doing experiments with our chemistry sets. I'm just soorry that we never kept in touch. Again I'm sorry for your loss.

I am going to miss Glenn and not just for donuts and Burger King runs but someone I can just talk too honestly and just feel the calmness that Glenn projected when you were with him.
I wish the Diehl family peace and blessings. We still have to get together at christmas and celebrate. We love you very much! Karen Pignoli
