To Glen's family,

I am very sorry for your loss.

I was a driver for Fairfield County (MRDD) and I had Glen on my bus for several years when he was at Winchester Home. A sweet dear man, fun to be around!! RIP Glen.

One fine human being who was full of good stories and good will and was always willing to lend a hand.

We enjoyed the many times he spent w/ us at United Way member Camp Shining Sun/Rainbow.

RIP, Glen.
