He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Patricia; his children, Scott of Naperville IL, and Chad of Los Angeles CA; his grandchildren, Morgan, Patrick and Connor; his sister, Nancy England Erdos of East Hampton NY; and nieces and a nephew.

It was an honor to be Glenn's classmate at Cretin. Later I enjoyed the time with Glenn when we both lived in St. Louis. Glenn was a gentleman. Peace and blessings to all his family.
