My condolences to the entire Olson family. My friendship with Glen dates back to his days with the Hamm's Beer Super Team and his days with the Skippers. May he rest in peace and open an alley in the sky!

Glen was a wonderful man and a close family friend. Our family enjoyed years of fun times in the bowling alley. He was part of the card playing group that mom and dad hung with. I remember fondly how happy we were when when he and Shirley were around. RIP our friend, we will meet again. I know you will be bowling in heaven with Tina, Mom and Dad, Love The Lusch family
