To The Whittaker Family,
We offer our deepest sympathy at this difficult time of loss. Glenn was a wonderful man and a joy to work with. We worked with Glenn for several years. He truly had a gift for "fixing" things:-) He will truly be missed. Just know that he is no longer suffering and is now at peace.
